There is one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”. He is Tao Xingzhi. He is a wise man and devoted his whole life to education. Born in Anhui province, China, in 1891, Tao studied abroad 2 educational methods. 3 Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as 4 educator, he did not blindly follow western education methods or theories. In fact, he changed the saying of “Education is life itself” to “Life is education”. For Tao, education is an active experience in real life instead of 5 and being told. He encouraged students to think independently and apply 6 they learned to their daily lives. Besides developing education methods, Tao 7 tried his best to improve mass (大众) education. After doing surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao 8 surprised to learn that in China more than 70% of the people in the city didn’t know how to read or write. 9 the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. Later, most of 10 became teachers at schools in the countryside. In January 1934, he started the “Little Teacher” movement in which young students were encouraged to teach 11 . They even taught those who were 12 than themselves. Under Tao’s guidance, over 18,000 “little teachers” were trained in Shanghai within 10 months. Moreover, he 13 a middle school in Chongqing and offered free education to poor children. Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life. “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not 14 a leaf of grass.” For Tao Xingzhi, education was not just about learning about knowledge but about changing lives. His teachings and actions make him not just a teacher but also a wise man. His 15 will forever be remembered and celebrated. 1. A. consider B. are considering C. are considered D. considered 2.

Terry and Kate are now reading stories behind the Chinese idioms they have learnt recently. ① In the Spring and Autumn period, Duke Huan of Qi led his army to help the State of Yan fight the enemies. They set out in spring. However, when they won the war and went back home, winter began. Everything in the mountain was covered with snow. They walked and walked only to find they came back to the same place. The army felt hungry and cold. At that time, the minister Guan Zhong picked out some old horses and set them free. The horses started to walk by themselves. The army followed the old horses. Soon, they found their way and walked out of the mountains. ② In the Spring and Autumn period, the State of Wu and the State of Yue didn’t get along well. They were fighting for years. People in each state didn’t have a good relationship, either. One day, the people of Wu andYue happened to be on the same boat to cross a river. When the boat was in the center of the river, a strong wind came. It seemed the boat would turn over anytime. Just then, they forget all the hatred between the two states and began to help and support each other just like they were family. In the end, they safely got to the river bank. 26.

The young boy replied, “My rich classmates laughed at me. They said that my father is just a worker who lives only on the money from watering and feeding plants for people.” The father was silent for a moment and said, “Come with me, son. Let's plant some flowers.” They walked to the garden, and the father took out some seeds and said, “Let's plant two flowers separately, but I use clean water from the lake, and you water yours with dirty water from the pond. We will see the results in the coming weeks.” The son had no idea what his father wanted to do, but he was interested and joined his father right away. They cared for the flowers they planted and watched them grow. A few weeks later, they went to the garden. The father said, “Look at the two flowers and tell me your thoughts.” The boy said in surprise, “My flower looks healthier than yours. How is that possible?” The father smiled, “That's because dirty water from the pond doesn’t stop a plant from growing. Instead, it serves as organic fertilizer (有机肥料) to help the flower grow. Like dirty water, there are bad words from others in your life. Don't let them influence you. Instead, let them encourage you, and then you will be like the flower and bloom even in the dirt.” After hearing these words, the boy felt confident and said, “Thank you, Dad. I won’t get upset about bad words anymore.” We may all face difficulties and challenges during the process of growing up. To achieve personal growth, it is important for us to keep a positive attitude and get energy from the environment. 29. In which way did the father solve the problem of his son? A.

Get Along With Classmates B. Do Everything With Your Heart C. Grow up With Ups and Downs D. Work Hard to Get What You Want C Have you ever heard of mamianqun? It is a traditional dress in China, also known as the Horse-face Pleated Skirt, and it is one of the most popular costumes in ancient China. This Chinese skirt dates back to the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279) and it became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has four skirt doors in front and back overlapping（重叠）each other. The overlapping part of skirt doors is called mamian. In 2022, a fashion brand copied the design of the skirt. However, many people didn't understand the design of it, so hanfu lovers began to spread the knowledge of the skirt. Such an action helped more people learn about traditional Chinese clothes. "For us, wearing the skirt is not just for fashion," said Mao, a hanfu lover. "____" Recently, the skirt has got even more attention. Many famous Chinese people have worn it to take part in international activities. And during holidays, lots of young people wear the skirt when they go on trips. People in other countries like this kind of skirt as well. Chinese clothing companies have got a lot of orders for it abroad. A report found that people from more than 90 countries posted the skirt on the Internet last year! This is a good example of Chinese culture going famous all over the world. Besides mamianqun, new Chinese-style clothes have also become a hot topic in recent years. These clothes add traditional Chinese elements to modern designs. They have won the hearts of many people.

Well, maybe you should first learn something about the struggles (斗争) of great scientists. The American Psychological Association (美国心理学会) did a study. More than 400 students in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great Scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein escaped from Nazi Germany to avoid being killed. Group 3 read about the scientists’ intellectual (智力的) struggles, such as Marie Curie’s tailed experiments. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these problems. The students took a science test before the study. After the six-week study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn’t see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study. The study was led by Xiaodong Lin Siegler, a professor. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was born a genius. They believe they will never match him. Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures. Students who read the struggle stories were more likely to say great scientists were like themselves. The “great minds” also had to solve problems to achieve success. Xiaodong says today’s science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students hardly consider science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And they should pay more attention to how these scientists responded to the problems they met along the way. 37. According to the passage, we can improve our physics and chemistry grades by ________. A. reading the achievements of great scientists more carefully B. listening more carefully to our physics and chemistry teachers C. learning about the difficulties that great scientists once experienced D. spending more time remembering the lists of facts in our science textbooks 38. Which of the following statements about the students who took part in the study is TRUE? A. All of them were middle school students. B. All of them went to schools in New York City. C. All of them were interested in physics and chemistry. D. All of them wanted to improve their physics and chemistry grades. 39. According to the last paragraph, Xiaodong thinks that ________. A. Today’s science textbooks bring much science to life B. Students should study harder to become a great scientist. C. Students only need to remember a long list of facts. D. It is meaningful to learn how scientists struggle to succeed. 40. Where can we probably find this passage? A. A novel. B. A fashion magazine. C. A story book. D. An education website. 第二节 阅读填空（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） 阅读短文及文后 A - E 选项，选出可以填入 41 - 45 各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Everyone procrastinates（拖延）because they want to feel good now. ___41___You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a trip.
