句意:尽管这些学校必须遵循国家课程,但他们在决定教什么方面有很多选择。根据前后句逻辑关系可知,前半句说要遵循国家课程,后半句说有选择,存在让步关系,结合首字母“A”可知,此处应填“Although”(尽管)。故填(A)lthough。
【48题详解】
句意:尽管这些学校必须遵循国家课程,但他们在决定教什么方面有很多选择。根据“what to teach”以及首字母“d”可知,此处指“决定”教什么,decide符合语境;“in”为介词,后接动名词形式,所以用deciding。故填(d)eciding。
【49题详解】
句意:这些新学校中有些被称为“小型学校”,因为学生数量只有60人,但至少应该有27名学生。此处指至少有27名学生,at least是固定短语,意为“至少”。故填(l)east。
【50题详解】
句意:它是由来自荷兰、德国、英国和爱尔兰其他地区的父母建立的。根据“parts of Ireland”以及首字母“o”可知,此处指“其他”地区,other符合语境。故填(o)ther。
【51题详解】
句意:他们设法找到一座旧的、废弃的小学教学楼,起初有24名4到12岁的孩子。根据“to get an old, disused primary school building”可知是设法找到一座旧的、废弃的小学教学楼,manage to do sth.是固定短语,意为“设法做某事”;文章时态为一般过去时,所以manage用过去式managed。故填(m)anaged。
【52题详解】
句意:他们设法找到一座旧的、废弃的小学教学楼,起初有24名4到12岁的孩子。aged from...to...是固定短语,意为“年龄在……到……之间”。故填(a)ged。
【53题详解】
句意:因此,这些课程包括瑜伽、烹饪、编织、风筝制作、音乐、钓鱼、戏剧和环境研究,以及阅读、写作、数学和科学。根据后文列举的一系列课程可知,此处指课程“包括”这些内容,结合首字母“i”可知,include符合语境;句子时态为一般现在时,主语“the courses”为复数,谓语动词用原形,所以填include。故填(i)nclude。
D. Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)(7 分)
At 22, Amy Carter was a young and promising scientist in earthquake studies. One bad day, when she went to study in an area where earthquakes often happened, a big earthquake came. The ground shook hard, and many buildings fell down. Amy was trapped under the broken buildings for hours. When people saved her, her back and arms were badly hurt. After many operations and a long time of getting better, she could walk with a walking stick, but she couldn’t do fieldwork anymore.
But Amy didn’t give up. She decided to study and work on new ideas about earthquakes. She went to study at Stanford University. There, she tried her best to make better ways to predict earthquakes.

Now, Amy is a famous professor at the University of California, Berkeley. She started a company called SeismoGuard. This company made new earthquake warning systems.

Exams can be a stressful time for many students. It is normal to feel nervous, but too much stress can affect your performance. Here are some tips to help you manage exam stress.
First, prepare well in advance. Don’t leave everything to the last minute. Break your study material into smaller parts and review them regularly. This way, you won’t feel overwhelmed.
