You’re sitting at a desk, studying intently, and then: wham! Unrelated thoughts — breakfast this morning, the funny movie you saw last week, or that upcoming presentation you’ re nervous about — invade your mind. Or maybe you’ re totally immersed in your work, but your roommates barge into your study space at an inconvenient moment. These internal and external distractions cause us to lose focus. The techniques outlined below will help you maximize your focused study time. ● _______________________________________ Unless your friends happen to be good study partners, study alone. If you’re studying at home, choose a quiet room with limited clutter (杂物). Post a sign on your door telling roommates or family members to stay away. If your home environment is distracting, gather your study supplies and head over to a comfortable study spot. If distracting background noises bother you, pick up some noise-canceling headphones and turn on a study playlist (preferably instrumental) or white noise. Create the best possible environment for studying before you open your books so that you don’t have to pause mid-session to make a change. ● _______________________________________ If you’re studying attentively, you’re going to get thirsty. Grab a beverage before you open the book. You may even need a power snack while you’ re working, so grab some brain food, too. Use the bathroom, put on comfortable clothes (but not too cozy), and set the air / heat to the temperature that best suits you. If you anticipate (预料) your physical needs before you start studying, you’ll be less likely to get out of your seat and lose the focus you have worked so hard to gain. ● _______________________________________ Schedule your most challenging study sessions during the best energy periods of the day, when you anticipate feeling most energized and focused. If you’re a morning person, that means you should be studying as early as possible. If you’re a night owl, choose an evening period. If you aren’t sure what time works best for you, think about your most successful studying experiences. What time of day did they take place? When does your brain feel most effective in general? Pencil in study sessions during these periods, and stick with them. 21. The purpose of creating the best environment for studying is _______. A. to find a good study partner B. to avoid possible white noise C. to ensure a full-session study D. to make yourself comfortable 22. What should you do if you’re uncertain about your best energy periods? A. Predict the most energized and focused time. B. Stick with a schedule regardless of energy levels. C. Reflect on previous rewarding learning experiences. D. Choose morning study sessions instead of evening ones. 23. Which subheadings can best fit the three parts respectively? ①Find a Study Partner for Greater Progress ②Choose Your Study Environment Wisely ③Get Ready for Your Physical Needs ④Respond to Your Internal Worries ⑤Study During Your Peak Brain Times ⑥Conduct Reflections Periodically A. ①③⑤ B. ①④⑥ C. ②④⑥ D. ②③⑤ B Satellite images and the latest scientific studies may accurately inform us how quickly the world’s glaciers are melting. But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway, but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. 24. Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to _______. A. ensure the safety during flight B. catch the beauty of glaciers up close C. stand on some famous glaciers D. collect accurate data of glacier melting 25. What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A. He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B. He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C. He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D. He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 26. The last paragraph emphasizes Fisher’s _______. A. anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B. determination to record disappearing glaciers C. ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D. frustration with current actions against climate crisis 27. Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A. Adventurous and far-sighted. B. Optimistic and soft-hearted. C. Talented and strong-willed. D. Devoted and open-minded. C It all started on the day I was binge-watching a talkshow in which the host uttered these wise words: “School in Shakespeare’s day and age was vastly different from our own. In fact, it was far easier because students didn’t have to study Shakespeare.” I laughed when I heard this statement and then realized how rightful the claim is. I mean, most of us were not enthusiastic when we saw the name Shakespeare in a lesson or an assignment title, even for someone who enjoys reading, analyzing pieces of literature, and writing. It’s pretty obvious that the manner in which the current school system handles art affects most students’ understanding of it. When we are given a certain assignment based on, let’s say, a play, many of us subconsciously connect our experience and opinion of that play based on how good or bad the process of completing that assignment was, especially if that was the first time we ever watched or read it. We stop appreciating the work in front of us and start choosing to notice only the elements necessary to help us complete that assignment. The beauty, joy, or even awe of reading and watching that play no longer exists. Art is subjective. Each individual has a unique understanding of it. The features that make an artwork excellent are how well the piece succeeds in attracting us with its idea, how it affects us emotionally, and what we experience during our interaction with it. To have that free interaction removed will not only hurt the piece but also how students will engage with similar works in the future. One of the fundamental solutions is to embrace the individuality that art brings — the liberty for a person to understand and interact with a piece through the lens of experiences lived, ideas absorbed, and emotions felt. Just like anyone, students are human beings. By nature, classes and courses must have structure. Hence, it would be complicated if we leave total freedom to students. Therefore, we could have a theme, topic, or style for each lesson rather than assigning the same text to all of the students. Based on the theme or topic of the lesson, the students would freely choose a piece of their liking to engage with. Doing so is not just another assignment but an extension of their interaction with an artwork. Art is a reflection of the human experience. To quote from John Keating, played by the great Robin Williams: “We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.” That is true for all forms of art. By changing the way that art is taught in schools, we can help students to see art as a valuable and enjoyable part of their lives. Ultimately, the goal of art education should be to help students develop a lifelong appreciation for art. 28. The author thinks when learning Shakespeare’s works in class, students will probably _______. A. experience joy in analyzing them B. find his works different yet easier C. realize it is quite right to study them D. wish they were in Shakespeare’s age 29. What leads to the problem with art appreciation? A. Students’ lack of creativity. B. Individuals’ varied opinions. C. The assignment-driven approach. D. The complexity of literary works. 30. According to the author, a good art class should be the one where _______. A. teachers choose a piece of their liking B. students freely pick out a theme they enjoy C. teachers encourage deep analysis of the same text D. students establish personal connection with artworks 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Students Hate Art Class B. The Lost Joy of Art Appreciation C. How to Connect Literature with Reality D. The Crisis of the Current School System D Parents may fear that if their high school student isn’t motivated (有动力) to do well in classes, there’s nothing that will change that. But a new study found that students’ learning motivation often did change and usually for the better. 1,670 students from grades 9 to 11 took part in the study in two school years, during which they completed several surveys that assessed their motivation. After each survey, the students were placed into six different profiles (档案), from worst — those who were not motivated at all, to best — those who had an inner desire to learn. The study found about 67 % students did change their profiles during the two years and there was an overall positive change in students’ motivation. For example, 8% of the students were in the best profile — autonomously motivated — in the first year, and that increased to 11.4% in the second year. The worst profile, the not motivated, described 2.8% of the students in the first year, dropping to 2.1% in the second year. “The other good news in the study was that if we can find better ways to motivate students, if we can get them in a better profile, they tend to stay there,” said Kui Xie, lead author of the study and professor of educational studies at the Ohio State University. Why did students move in a positive direction? One reason may be simply because they’re a year older and more mature (成熟). But the study did find two factors that impacted how likely they were to become more motivated. One was the previous achievement. Students who had higher grade the first year were more likely to remain in better profiles in the second year of the study. The other factor was school belongingness, with students who felt they were more a part of their school in the first year being more likely to move to or stay in a better profile in the second year. “This may be one area where we can help students become more motivated” Xie said. “Belongingness is something schools can change. They can find ways to help students feel like they are part of the school community.” 32 What did Kui Xie’s study discover? A. Students’ willingness to study can be improved. B. Teenagers’ inner desire to learn can be assessed. C. Students from grades 9 to 11 are easy to be inspired. D. Teenagers’ learning motivation is parents’ most concern. 33. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2? A. The background of the study. B. The influence of the study. C. The purpose of the study. D. The process of the study. 34. According to the study, what influences students’ motivation? A. Their average ages. B. Their previous scores. C. Their personal profiles. D. Their motivated schoolmates. 35. What may Kui Xie probably agree? A. Schools should put students in better profiles. B. Students should have their own assessment plan. C. Schools should use motivation strategies to inspire students. D. Students should improve their communication with their parents. 第四部分: 语言知识(共两节, 26分) 第一节(共7小题: 每小题2分, 共14分) 根据汉语提示, 用单词的适当形式填空。 36.

Now the average attention span lasts just eight seconds. We’ re struggling to focus on single tasks for long periods of time. We have a tendency to get distra … oh, look at that dog! We need an approach that makes information easier to consume and absorb. Enter microlearning. As the name implies, microlearning is a way of gaining knowledge that breaks information into bite-sized pieces, typically five to ten minutes long. Actually, microlearning has been around for as long as human beings have been learning. However, the use of the term “microlearning” and its rise in popularity is a relatively new thing with the increased spread of the Internet and the popularization of e-learning. Microlearning is perfect for today’s learners because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. This means they can learn on their commute, lunch break and more. The neuroscience behind microlearning partly explains why it works so well. It uses the cognitive skills learning system in our brain, the main system for learning skills and helping with short-term memory. The use of spaced repetition also plays a part. Research suggests we learn better when content is spaced out, rather than delivered in one go. It helps to fight against the Forgetting Curve, which suggests we forget 90% of the information we learn within a week. After all, each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. Think of those flashcards you made for an exam. You created small pieces of content and looked at them over and over again until they were ingrained in your memory! With its bite-sized knowledge, microlearning allows you to learn at your own pace, offering more flexibility. Content can be tailored to meet your specific needs, preferences, and learning styles, thus allowing for personalized learning experiences. Also, it reduces stress and increases productivity. When you have a lot of things to do, you may feel stressed. In turn, your brain releases a hormone called cortisol, which can negatively impact your memory. By breaking content down into short and easy units, it makes learning feel less challenging. Nice! Microlearning may be small but it sure is mighty. It’s easy to find, quick to complete and super effective. What’s not to love? 49. Why is microlearning a perfect choice for today’s learners? _________________________________________________________________________________ 50. How does spaced repetition help fight against the Forgetting Curve? _________________________________________________________________________________ 51. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by helping our brain release cortisol. _________________________________________________________________________________ 52. How can you apply microlearning in your daily study?

You’re sitting at a desk, studying intently, and then: wham! Unrelated thoughts — breakfast this morning, the funny movie you saw last week, or that upcoming presentation you’ re nervous about — invade your mind. Or maybe you’ re totally immersed in your work, but your roommates barge into your study space at an inconvenient moment. These internal and external distractions cause us to lose focus. The techniques outlined below will help you maximize your focused study time. ● _______________________________________ Unless your friends happen to be good study partners, study alone. If you’re studying at home, choose a quiet room with limited clutter (杂物). Post a sign on your door telling roommates or family members to stay away. If your home environment is distracting, gather your study supplies and head over to a comfortable study spot. If distracting background noises bother you, pick up some noise-canceling headphones and turn on a study playlist (preferably instrumental) or white noise. Create the best possible environment for studying before you open your books so that you don’t have to pause mid-session to make a change. ● _______________________________________ If you’re studying attentively, you’re going to get thirsty. Grab a beverage before you open the book. You may even need a power snack while you’ re working, so grab some brain food, too. Use the bathroom, put on comfortable clothes (but not too cozy), and set the air / heat to the temperature that best suits you. If you anticipate (预料) your physical needs before you start studying, you’ll be less likely to get out of your seat and lose the focus you have worked so hard to gain. ● _______________________________________ Schedule your most challenging study sessions during the best energy periods of the day, when you anticipate feeling most energized and focused. If you’re a morning person, that means you should be studying as early as possible. If you’re a night owl, choose an evening period. If you aren’t sure what time works best for you, think about your most successful studying experiences. What time of day did they take place? When does your brain feel most effective in general? Pencil in study sessions during these periods, and stick with them. 21. The purpose of creating the best environment for studying is _______. A. to find a good study partner B. to avoid possible white noise C. to ensure a full-session study D. to make yourself comfortable 22. What should you do if you’re uncertain about your best energy periods? A. Predict the most energized and focused time. B. Stick with a schedule regardless of energy levels. C. Reflect on previous rewarding learning experiences. D. Choose morning study sessions instead of evening ones. 23. Which subheadings can best fit the three parts respectively? ①Find a Study Partner for Greater Progress ②Choose Your Study Environment Wisely ③Get Ready for Your Physical Needs ④Respond to Your Internal Worries ⑤Study During Your Peak Brain Times ⑥Conduct Reflections Periodically A. ①③⑤ B. ①④⑥ C. ②④⑥ D. ②③⑤ 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些帮助人们在学习时集中注意力、减少干扰的方法，包括营造良好学习环境、提前满足生理需求以及在高效时段学习等。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一点建议中“Create the best possible environment for studying before you open your books so that you don’t have to pause mid-session to make a change. (在打开书本之前，营造一个尽可能最佳的学习环境，这样你就无需在学习中途停下来进行调整。)”可知，营造最佳学习环境的目的是为了确保能够持续一整节课的学习，避免中途停下来去调整。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三点建议中“If you aren’t sure what time works best for you, think about your most successful studying experiences. What time of day did they take place? When does your brain feel most effective in general? (如果你不确定什么时间对你最有效，想想你最成功的学习经历。它们发生在一天中的什么时候？一般来说，你的大脑什么时候最有效率？)”可知，如果你不确定自己的最佳精力时段，可以回想以前成功的学习经历，从而找到适合自己的学习时间。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一部分中“Unless your friends happen to be good study partners, study alone. If you’re studying at home, choose a quiet room with limited clutter (杂物). (除非你的朋友恰好是好的学习伙伴，否则就独自学习。如果你在家学习，选择一个杂物少的安静房间。)”可知，第一部分主要讲述了如何选择合适的学习环境，因此②“Choose Your Study Environment Wisely (明智地选择你的学习环境)”适合作为这部分的标题；根据第二部分中“If you anticipate (预料) your physical needs before you start studying, you’ll be less likely to get out of your seat and lose the focus you have worked so hard to gain. (如果你在学习前预料到自己的生理需求，你就不太可能离开座位，失去好不容易才获得的专注力。)”可知，第二部分主要讲述了在学习前要满足自己的生理需求，因此③“Get Ready for Your Physical Needs (为你的生理需求做好准备)”适合作为这部分的标题；根据第三部分中“Schedule your most challenging study sessions during the best energy periods of the day, when you anticipate feeling most energized and focused. (将最具挑战性的学习安排在一天中精力最充沛的时候，这时你预计自己会感到精力充沛、注意力集中。)”可知，第三部分主要讲述了要在大脑状态最佳时学习，因此⑤“Study During Your Peak Brain Times (在大脑状态最佳时学习)”适合作为这部分的标题。故选D项。 B Satellite images and the latest scientific studies may accurately inform us how quickly the world’s glaciers are melting. But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway, but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. 24. Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to _______. A. ensure the safety during flight B. catch the beauty of glaciers up close C. stand on some famous glaciers D. collect accurate data of glacier melting 25. What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A. He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B. He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C. He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D. He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 26. The last paragraph emphasizes Fisher’s _______. A. anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B. determination to record disappearing glaciers C. ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D. frustration with current actions against climate crisis 27. Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A. Adventurous and far-sighted. B. Optimistic and soft-hearted. C. Talented and strong-willed. D. Devoted and open-minded. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了美国探险家加勒特·费舍尔（Garrett Fisher）通过驾驶老式飞机，近距离拍摄正在消失的冰川，以记录它们的美丽并唤起人们对气候变化危机的关注。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate the beauty of glaciers. (但美国冒险家加勒特·费舍尔的使命不同：去揭示正在消失的冰川的“灵魂” —— 因为他认为卫星图像无法复制冰川的美。)”以及第二段中““With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” (“有了飞机，我就能‘站’在人类无法站立的地方，”他说。“你可以从近距离俯瞰冰川的灵魂。”)”可知，费舍尔乘坐飞机拍摄冰川是为了近距离捕捉冰川的美丽。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” (他必须等待阳光，然后要勇敢面对狂风和变幻莫测的气流，还要应对缺氧问题，才能在伯尔尼阿尔卑斯山脉攀登至14,000英尺的高度。“等待合适的天气需要很长时间。一般的经验是，风速不能超过20节，但我曾在风速高达50节的情况下登山。在高海拔地区，如果你处于山的合适一侧，风往往不会那么猛烈。所以这很像在驾驭巨浪：如果你待在合适的位置，一切就都没问题。”)”可知，费舍尔在拍摄过程中，需要应对高海拔、强风和缺氧等挑战，但他能够巧妙地应对这些挑战，说明他熟练地应对了高空飞行。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. (费舍尔的飞行展示了冰川的快速融化。“我所看到的一切在三代人之后都将消失。”他现在成立了一个非营利组织“全球冰川倡议”，旨在收集冰川的个人图片记录，以记录正在失去的东西，并发起运动，呼吁采取更果断的行动来应对气候危机。“我愿意在接下来的20年里，去追寻地球上我能找到的每一条冰川，”他说。)”可知，最后一段强调了费舍尔记录正在消失的冰川的决心。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. (许多冰川无法步行或使用无人机到达，而且直升机非常昂贵。因此，费舍尔驾驶一架旧飞机，把相机挂在窗外。)”以及最后一段中“I'm willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet. (我愿意用接下来的20年去追寻地球上我能找到的每一座冰川。)”可知，费舍尔敢于冒险，驾驶老式飞机拍摄冰川，并且他愿意花费20年的时间去追寻每一座冰川，着眼于冰川保护和气候危机应对,说明他具有远见卓识。因此，A项“Adventurous and far-sighted. (冒险和有远见的)”最能描述费舍尔。故选A项。 C It all started on the day I was binge-watching a talkshow in which the host uttered these wise words: “School in Shakespeare’s day and age was vastly different from our own. In fact, it was far easier because students didn’t have to study Shakespeare.” I laughed when I heard this statement and then realized how rightful the claim is. I mean, most of us were not enthusiastic when we saw the name Shakespeare in a lesson or an assignment title, even for someone who enjoys reading, analyzing pieces of literature, and writing. It’s pretty obvious that the manner in which the current school system handles art affects most students’ understanding of it. When we are given a certain assignment based on, let’s say, a play, many of us subconsciously connect our experience and opinion of that play based on how good or bad the process of completing that assignment was, especially if that was the first time we ever watched or read it. We stop appreciating the work in front of us and start choosing to notice only the elements necessary to help us complete that assignment. The beauty, joy, or even awe of reading and watching that play no longer exists. Art is subjective. Each individual has a unique understanding of it. The features that make an artwork excellent are how well the piece succeeds in attracting us with its idea, how it affects us emotionally, and what we experience during our interaction with it. To have that free interaction removed will not only hurt the piece but also how students will engage with similar works in the future. One of the fundamental solutions is to embrace the individuality that art brings — the liberty for a person to understand and interact with a piece through the lens of experiences lived, ideas absorbed, and emotions felt. Just like anyone, students are human beings. By nature, classes and courses must have structure. Hence, it would be complicated if we leave total freedom to students. Therefore, we could have a theme, topic, or style for each lesson rather than assigning the same text to all of the students. Based on the theme or topic of the lesson, the students would freely choose a piece of their liking to engage with. Doing so is not just another assignment but an extension of their interaction with an artwork. Art is a reflection of the human experience. To quote from John Keating, played by the great Robin Williams: “We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.” That is true for all forms of art. By changing the way that art is taught in schools, we can help students to see art as a valuable and enjoyable part of their lives. Ultimately, the goal of art education should be to help students develop a lifelong appreciation for art. 28. The author thinks when learning Shakespeare’s works in class, students will probably _______. A. experience joy in analyzing them B. find his works different yet easier C. realize it is quite right to study them D. wish they were in Shakespeare’s age 29. What leads to the problem with art appreciation? A. Students’ lack of creativity. B. Individuals’ varied opinions. C. The assignment-driven approach. D. The complexity of literary works. 30. According to the author, a good art class should be the one where _______. A. teachers choose a piece of their liking B. students freely pick out a theme they enjoy C. teachers encourage deep analysis of the same text D. students establish personal connection with artworks 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Students Hate Art Class B. The Lost Joy of Art Appreciation C. How to Connect Literature with Reality D. The Crisis of the Current School System 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了当前学校艺术教育存在的问题，尤其是以作业为导向的教学方式如何影响学生对艺术的欣赏，并提出了通过给予学生自由选择艺术作品来提升艺术教育效果的建议。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““School in Shakespeare’s day and age was vastly different from our own. In fact, it was far easier because students didn’t have to study Shakespeare.” I laughed when I heard this statement and then realized how rightful the claim is. I mean, most of us were not enthusiastic when we saw the name Shakespeare in a lesson or an assignment title, even for someone who enjoys reading, analyzing pieces of literature, and writing. (“在莎士比亚所处的时代，学校教育与我们如今的大不相同。事实上，那时要轻松得多，因为学生们无需学习莎士比亚的作品。”听到这一说法时我笑了，随后意识到这一观点多么有道理。我的意思是，当我们在课程或作业标题中看到莎士比亚这个名字时，我们大多数人都提不起兴致，即便对于喜欢阅读、分析文学作品以及写作的人来说也是如此。)”可推知，作者认为当学生在课堂上学习莎士比亚的作品时，他们可能会希望自己生活在莎士比亚的时代，因为那样就不用学习他的作品了。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we are given a certain assignment based on, let’s say, a play, many of us subconsciously connect our experience and opinion of that play based on how good or bad the process of completing that assignment was, especially if that was the first time we ever watched or read it. We stop appreciating the work in front of us and start choosing to notice only the elements necessary to help us complete that assignment. (当我们被布置了一项基于某部戏剧的作业时，我们中的许多人会下意识地根据完成作业的过程的好坏来关联我们对这部戏剧的体验和看法，尤其是当我们第一次观看或阅读它时。我们不再欣赏眼前的作品，而是开始只选择那些有助于我们完成作业的元素。)”可知，以作业为导向的教学方式导致了艺术欣赏的问题。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“One of the fundamental solutions is to embrace the individuality that art brings — the liberty for a person to understand and interact with a piece through the lens of experiences lived, ideas absorbed, and emotions felt. (一个基本的解决方案是接受艺术带来的个性 —— 一个人通过经历、吸收的思想和感受到的情感来理解和与一件作品互动的自由。)”以及第五段中“Based on the theme or topic of the lesson, the students would freely choose a piece of their liking to engage with. Doing so is not just another assignment but an extension of their interaction with an artwork. (根据课程的主题或话题，学生可以自由选择他们喜欢的作品进行互动。这样做不仅仅是另一项作业，而是他们与艺术品互动的延伸。)”可知，作者认为一个好的艺术课应该是学生与艺术品建立个人联系的课堂。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段中“The beauty, joy, or even awe of reading and watching that play no longer exists. (阅读和观看那部戏剧的美丽、喜悦甚至敬畏都不复存在了。)”以及最后一段中“By changing the way that art is taught in schools, we can help students to see art as a valuable and enjoyable part of their lives. Ultimately, the goal of art education should be to help students develop a lifelong appreciation for art. (通过改变学校教授艺术的方式，我们可以帮助学生将艺术视为生活中有价值和令人愉快的一部分。最终，艺术教育的目标应该是帮助学生培养对艺术的终身欣赏。)”可知，文章主要讨论了艺术欣赏中失去的乐趣以及如何通过改变教学方式来恢复这种乐趣。因此，B项“The Lost Joy of Art Appreciation (艺术欣赏中失去的乐趣)”最符合文章主旨，适宜作为标题。故选B项。 D Parents may fear that if their high school student isn’t motivated (有动力) to do well in classes there’s nothing that will change that. But a new study found that students’ learning motivation often did change and usually for the better. 1,670 students from grades 9 to 11 took part in the study in two school years, during which they completed several surveys that assessed their motivation. After each survey, the students were placed into six different profiles (档案), from worst — those who were not motivated at all, to best — those who had an inner desire to learn. The study found about 67 % students did change their profiles during the two years and there was an overall positive change in students’ motivation. For example, 8% of the students were in the best profile — autonomously motivated — in the first year, and that increased to 11.4% in the second year. The worst profile, the not motivated, described 2.8% of the students in the first year, dropping to 2.1% in the second year. “The other good news in the study was that if we can find better ways to motivate students, if we can get them in a better profile, they tend to stay there,” said Kui Xie, lead author of the study and professor of educational studies at the Ohio State University. Why did students move in a positive direction? One reason may be simply because they’re a year older and more mature (成熟). But the study did find two factors that impacted how likely they were to become more motivated. One was the previous achievement. Students who had higher grade the first year were more likely to remain in better profiles in the second year of the study. The other factor was school belongingness, with students who felt they were more a part of their school in the first year being more likely to move to or stay in a better profile in the second year. “This may be one area where we can help students become more motivated,” Xie said. “Belongingness is something schools can change. They can find ways to help students feel like they are part of the school community.” 32. What did Kui Xie’s study discover? A. Students’ willingness to study can be improved. B. Teenagers’ inner desire to learn can be assessed. C. Students from grades 9 to 11 are easy to be inspired. D. Teenagers’ learning motivation is parents’ most concern. 33. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2? A. The background of the study. B. The influence of the study. C. The purpose of the study. D. The process of the study. 34. According to the study, what influences students’ motivation? A. Their average ages. B. Their previous scores. C. Their personal profiles. D. Their motivated schoolmates. 35. What may Kui Xie probably agree? A. Schools should put students in better profiles. B. Students should have their own assessment plan. C. Schools should use motivation strategies to inspire students. D. Students should improve their communication with their parents. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，学生的学习动机经常会发生变化，而且通常会向积极的方向发展。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章第一段的“But a new study found that students’ learning motivation often did change and usually for the better.（但一项新的研究发现，学生的学习动机经常会发生变化，而且通常会向好的方向发展）”和第六段“But the study did find two factors that impacted how likely they were to become more motivated. (但研究确实发现了两个影响他们变得更有动力的因素)”可知，Kui Xie的研究发现了学生的学习意愿可以提高。故选A项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。通过文章第二段“1,670 students from grades 9 to 11 took part in the study in two school years, during which they completed several surveys that assessed their motivation. (1670名9至11年级的学生在两学年的时间里参加了这项研究，在此期间他们完成了几项评估他们动机的调查)”可知，本段主要介绍了学生是如何参与调查的，即讨论了研究的过程。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第六段“But the study did find two factors that impacted how likely they were to become more motivated. One was the previous achievement. Students who had higher grade the first year were more likely to remain in better profiles in the second year of the study.(但是这项研究确实发现了两个影响他们变得更有动力的因素。一个是以前的成就。第一年成绩较高的学生在研究的第二年更有可能保持较好的状态)”可推知，根据研究，学生以前的分数会影响学生的学习动机。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第四段““The other good news in the study was that if we can find better ways to motivate students, if we can get them in a better profile, they tend to stay there,” said Kui Xie (“这项研究的另一个好消息是，如果我们能找到更好的方法来激励学生，如果我们能让他们有一个更好的形象，他们往往会留在那里，”Kui Xie说)”可推知，Kui Xie认为学校应该使用激励策略来激励学生。故选C项。 第四部分: 语言知识(共两节, 26分) 第一节(共7小题: 每小题2分, 共14分) 根据汉语提示, 用单词的适当形式填空。 36.

Now the average attention span lasts just eight seconds. We’ re struggling to focus on single tasks for long periods of time. We have a tendency to get distra … oh, look at that dog! We need an approach that makes information easier to consume and absorb. Enter microlearning. As the name implies, microlearning is a way of gaining knowledge that breaks information into bite-sized pieces, typically five to ten minutes long. Actually, microlearning has been around for as long as human beings have been learning. However, the use of the term “microlearning” and its rise in popularity is a relatively new thing with the increased spread of the Internet and the popularization of e-learning. Microlearning is perfect for today’s learners because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. This means they can learn on their commute, lunch break and more. The neuroscience behind microlearning partly explains why it works so well. It uses the cognitive skills learning system in our brain, the main system for learning skills and helping with short-term memory. The use of spaced repetition also plays a part. Research suggests we learn better when content is spaced out, rather than delivered in one go. It helps to fight against the Forgetting Curve, which suggests we forget 90% of the information we learn within a week. After all, each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. Think of those flashcards you made for an exam. You created small pieces of content and looked at them over and over again until they were ingrained in your memory! With its bite-sized knowledge, microlearning allows you to learn at your own pace, offering more flexibility. Content can be tailored to meet your specific needs, preferences, and learning styles, thus allowing for personalized learning experiences. Also, it reduces stress and increases productivity. When you have a lot of things to do, you may feel stressed. In turn, your brain releases a hormone called cortisol, which can negatively impact your memory. By breaking content down into short and easy units, it makes learning feel less challenging. Nice! Microlearning may be small but it sure is mighty. It’s easy to find, quick to complete and super effective. What’s not to love? 49. Why is microlearning a perfect choice for today’s learners? _________________________________________________________________________________ 50. How does spaced repetition help fight against the Forgetting Curve? _________________________________________________________________________________ 51. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by helping our brain release cortisol. _________________________________________________________________________________ 52. How can you apply microlearning in your daily study? (In about 40 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】49. Because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. 50. Each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. 51. Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by helping our brain release cortisol. Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by breaking content down into short and easy units. 52. 参考1：I can apply microlearning in my daily study in many ways. I review class notes between classes. I memorize one vocabulary list before bed and review it on the bus ride to school the next morning. By studying little but often, I achieve more with less stress. 参考2：I can integrate microlearning into my busy schedule. I squeeze in short study sessions between classes, like referring to notebooks for quick reviews. On my commute to and from school, I watch brief educational videos to grasp key concepts. This approach boosts my learning efficiency. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微学习（microlearning）这一学习方式，包括其定义、流行原因、背后的神经科学原理、优点以及应用方式等。 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Microlearning is perfect for today’s learners because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. (微学习非常适合今天的学习者，因为他们总是在忙碌中。此外，他们总能接触到用于学习的设备。)”可知，微学习非常适合今天的学习者，因为他们总是在忙碌中，并且他们总是可以接触到学习设备。故答案为：Because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. 【50题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Research suggests we learn better when content is spaced out, rather than delivered in one go. It helps to fight against the Forgetting Curve, which suggests we forget 90% of the information we learn within a week. After all, each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. (研究表明，当内容分散开来而不是一次性提供时，我们学得更好。这有助于对抗遗忘曲线，遗忘曲线表明我们在一周内会忘记所学信息的90%。毕竟，每一次重复都提供了一个新的机会来练习主动回忆，并在我们已经建立的基础上再接再厉。)”可知，间隔重复通过每次重复提供新的机会来练习主动回忆，并在已建立的基础上巩固知识，从而对抗遗忘曲线。故答案为：Each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“When you have a lot of things to do, you may feel stressed. In turn, your brain releases a hormone called cortisol, which can negatively impact your memory. By breaking content down into short and easy units, it makes learning feel less challenging. (当你有很多事情要做时，你可能会感到压力。反过来，你的大脑会释放一种叫做皮质醇的激素，这会对你的记忆力产生负面影响。通过将内容分解成简短易懂的单元，学习会变得不那么具有挑战性。)”可知，微学习通过将内容分解为简短易懂的单元使学习感觉不那么有挑战性，而大脑释放皮质醇是压力导致的，会对记忆产生负面影响，并非微学习的作用。故答案为： Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by breaking content down into short and easy units. 【52题详解】 考查开放性问题。结合文章内容，微学习将知识分解成小块，便于利用碎片时间学习，且能根据个人需求定制内容，减少压力，提高学习效率。所以，可以这样应用微学习：在课间复习课堂笔记，利用碎片时间记忆单词，通过观看简短的教育视频掌握关键概念，以实现高效学习。故答案为：I can apply microlearning in my daily study by reviewing class notes between classes, memorizing vocabulary lists during short breaks, and watching brief educational videos to grasp key concepts, achieving efficient learning with less stress. 或 I can integrate microlearning into my busy schedule. I squeeze in short study sessions between classes, like referring to notebooks for quick reviews. On my commute to and from school, I watch brief educational videos to grasp key concepts. This approach boosts my learning efficiency.
