Anantawan was born without most of his right forearm. The disability was a greatest impediment to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛).
Instead of giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided to find him a different instrument to explore his musical talent. “My family chose the violin because they thought it was the most beautiful instrument,” Anantawan said. They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast (石膏) on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow.
A group of engineers worked alongside Anantawan to build a special device. With it, Anantawan could use the bow and use his shoulder to make the sound. “From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination,” he said.
Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity.
Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provide accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of their disability.
4. What does the underlined word “impediment” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Possibility. B. Barrier. C. Achievement. D. Regret.
5. Why did Anantawan’s family get in touch with the hospital?
A. To find a man-made hand for him.
B. To inspire him to learn to play the recorder.
C. To put forward suggestions on adapting a violin.
D. To add something extra to assist his right arm.
6. What does Anantawan think is the key to the disabled’s access to music?
A. Inclusive atmosphere. B. Fair competitions.
C. Enough resources. D. Lasting cooperation.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why Anantawan becomes active. B. Who Anantawan plays music with.
C. How Anantawan lives in his free time. D. What Anantawan contributes his time to.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了天生缺少右前臂的Anantawan如何克服困难成为音乐家的故事。

词句猜测题。根据第一段“Anantawan was born without most of his right forearm. The disability was a greatest impediment to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛). (Anantawan生来就没有大部分的右前臂。当Anantawan在五年级时,他说他的音乐老师要求所有学生学习演奏竖笛,那时他的残疾成为了学习音乐的最大障碍。)”可知,在五年级时,音乐老师希望所有学生都学会吹竖笛,但残疾却成了他学习音乐的障碍。impediment意为“障碍,阻碍”。A. Possibility可能性;B. Barrier障碍,阻碍;C. Achievement成就;D. Regret遗憾。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast (石膏) on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow. (他们联系了家庭附近的一家多伦多地区的医院,请求医院为他的手臂制作一个适应性的石膏模型,这样这位当时10岁的小男孩就能握住琴弓了。)”可知,他们联系了位于家附近的医院,希望医院能帮助他的手臂握住琴弓。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity. (虽然Anantawan对那些使他和其他残疾人士能够接触到音乐的技术感到非常感谢,但他认为最重要的是,教师、支持者以及那些鼓励年轻人或音乐家的人能够接受多样性,通过告诉他们可以做任何事情来支持他们的成长和发展。)”可知,Anantawan认为残疾人接触音乐的关键在于包容的氛围。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读最后一段,尤其是本段第一句“Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. (Anantawan正在努力为其他人提供这样的空间。)”可知,本段主要概述Anantawan花时间做的事。故选D。
C
When young children’s behavior becomes challenging, many parents turn to threats. Many parents threatened to leave an activity or place, or not get snacks. “Discipline (管教) helps young children learn what behaviors are safe and proper and can play an important role in helping them learn the difference between right and wrong,” said Susan Woolford, M. D. “Empty threats, however, destroy trust and aren’t usually effective.”
Most parents surveyed reported getting input about discipline strategies from several sources, turning to the child’s other parent, talking with friends or using parenting books, articles and social media. Meanwhile, less than a fifth of parents have discussed discipline with a healthcare provider and one in eight parents say they haven’t thought about their discipline strategies. Some parents surveyed admitted using discipline strategies that aren’t recommended by experts, with two in five sometimes spanking (打屁股).
“Discipline strategies should be proper for the child’s age and developmental level.” Woolford said. For children aged one to two, distraction (分散注意力) and redirection are often most effective, noting that children this young are exploring their environment and willful misbehavior is quite few. But after age two, children understand their actions can cause a reaction from others and may increasingly test that out. Parents of children aged three to five surveyed were more likely to use warnings, speak firmly, and give timeouts.
During these preschool ages, parents should let them know what their misbehavior will lead to. For instance, if a child throws a drink out of anger, a proper punishment would be to have them clean up the mess while an unrelated punishment will be less effective. Reactions should be immediate, so the child understands the connection with their misbehavior.
As children grow, they respond differently to various discipline methods, so parents should adapt their strategies and stay open to new approaches. “Balancing correction with positive strengthening — like praise and rewards — helps children build self-respect while learning from their mistakes.” Woolford said.
8. What will threatening bring to kids according to Susan Woolford?
A. Less belief in parents. B. More improper behaviors.
C. Unwillingness to accept gifts. D. Inability to tell right from wrong.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Effective threats to children. B. Situations of discipline strategies.
C. Various methods of parenting. D. Reasons for children’s misbehavior.
10. What should parents do with the misbehavior of children aged 3 to 5?
A. Reason with them patiently and seriously.
B. Reflect on the causes of their mistakes.
C. Forgive them for their childish actions.
D. Punish them immediately and properly.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Praise and rewards ensure self-respect.
B. Disciplining children is a flexible process.
C. Parenting becomes easier as children grow.
D. Correcting mistakes is a new parenting approach.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要探讨了父母在面对孩子挑战性行为时采取的管教策略,并强调了不同年龄阶段应采用不同的方法,以及及时、适当的反应和灵活调整策略的重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Empty threats, however, destroy trust and aren’t usually effective.(然而,空洞的威胁会破坏信任,通常不会有效)”可知,Susan Woolford认为威胁会破坏孩子对父母的信任。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Most parents surveyed reported getting input about discipline strategies from several sources, turning to the child’s other parent, talking with friends or using parenting books, articles and social media. Meanwhile, less than a fifth of parents have discussed discipline with a healthcare provider and one in eight parents say they haven’t thought about their discipline strategies. Some parents surveyed admitted using discipline strategies that aren’t recommended by experts, with two in five sometimes spanking (打屁股).(大多数接受调查的父母表示,他们会从几个渠道获取管教策略的信息,比如求助于孩子的另一位父母,与朋友交谈,或者使用育儿书籍、文章和社交媒体。与此同时,不到五分之一的父母与医疗保健提供者讨论过管教问题,八分之一的父母表示他们没有考虑过自己的管教策略。一些接受调查的父母承认,他们使用了专家不推荐的管教策略,五分之二的父母有时会打屁股)”可知,第二段主要描述了父母获取管教策略的来源(如伴侣、朋友、书籍等)及部分父母使用专家不推荐的方法(如打屁股)的情况,整体围绕“管教策略的应用现状”展开。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For instance, if a child throws a drink out of anger, a proper punishment would be to have them clean up the mess while an unrelated punishment will be less effective. Reactions should be immediate, so the child understands the connection with their misbehavior.(例如,如果一个孩子因为生气而把饮料扔了,适当的惩罚是让他们清理混乱,而不相关的惩罚将不太有效。反应应该是即时的,这样孩子就能理解与他们的不当行为的联系)”可知,对于3-5岁孩子的错误行为,父母需立即且恰当地惩罚。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As children grow, they respond differently to various discipline methods, so parents should adapt their strategies and stay open to new approaches.(随着孩子的成长,他们对各种管教方法的反应不同,所以父母应该调整自己的策略,并对新的方法保持开放的态度)”可知,管教是一个需要灵活调整的过程。故选B。
D
When you ask people to judge others by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency. Slow talkers producing loads of ums and pauses (停顿) are generally perceived as less charming. But science tells us there may be even more to disfluency.
Disfluencies do not occur in arbitrary positions in sentences. Ums typically occur right before more difficult or low-frequency words. Imagine you’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items on the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Your friend turns to you and says, “Could you hand me the...um...” What would you assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate before such common words as knife, and glass, chances are you’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “You mean this?”
This is exactly what we demonstrated through controlled eye-tracking studies in our lab. Apparently, listeners hear the um and predict that an uncommon word is most likely to follow. Such predictions, though, reflect more than just simple association between disfluencies and difficult words; listeners are actively considering from the speaker’s point of view. For example, when hearing a non-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick foreign accent, listeners don’t show a preference for looking at low-frequency objects. This is probably because listeners assume non-native speakers may have as much trouble coming up with the English word for a common object, like a knife, as for unusual ones and can’t guess their intention.
In another experiment, listeners were presented with an uncommon speaker who produced disfluencies before simple words and never before difficult words. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy: looking at uncommon objects. However, as more time went by, they gained experience with this uncommon distribution of disfluencies. Listeners started to demonstrate the contrary predictive behavior: They tended to look at simple objects when hearing the speaker say um.
These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a prediction machine: We continuously try to predict what will happen next, even though not all disfluencies are created equal.
12. Which statement does the example in paragraph 2 support?
A Pauses usually follow uncommon words. B. Slow talkers tend to pause more.
C. Fluent speakers are unlikely to pause. D. Active listeners only guess difficult words.
13. What does the author say about the non-native speakers?
A. They can be understood easily. B. They actively put themselves in others’ shoes
C. Their vocabularies are limited. D. Their disfluencies are a little less predictive.
14. What does the experiment in paragraph 4 show?
A. Simple things are difficult in some cases. B. Listeners can adjust predictions accordingly.
C. Distribution of disfluencies is changeable. D. Disfluencies in communication can be avoided.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article?
A. Pauses Coexist with Hesitation B. Human Brains Have the Power to Predict
C. Active Listeners Simplify Talks D. Disfluency Says More than You Think
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了听者不喜欢不流畅的表达,说话迟缓且话中有大量的“嗯”和停顿的人通常被认为不那么有魅力。但科学研究发现不流畅表达传达的信息比人们认为的要多。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ums typically occur right before more difficult or low-frequency words. Imagine you’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items on the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Your friend turns to you and says, “Could you hand me the...um...” What would you assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate before such common words as knife, and glass, chances are you’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “You mean this?”(“嗯”通常出现在更难或低频的单词之前。想象一下,你和一个朋友在餐馆吃饭,桌子上有三样东西:一把刀、一个玻璃杯和一个醒酒器。你的朋友转向你说:“你能把…嗯…递给我吗?”你认为他们想要什么?由于他们不太可能在刀和玻璃等常用词面前犹豫,所以你很可能会拿起醒酒器问:“你是说这个?”)”可知,“嗯”(不流畅表达中的一种)一般出现在更难或低频的词汇前,本段的例子旨在证明不流畅表达在句子中出现的位置不是随意的,而是有规律可循的。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This is probably because listeners assume non-native speakers may have as much trouble coming up with the English word for a common object, like a knife, as for unusual ones and can’t guess their intention.(这可能是因为听众认为,非母语人士可能很难想出英语单词来表示一个常见的物体,比如一把刀,也很难想出不寻常的物体,而且无法猜测他们的意图)” 可知,作者认为非母语者的不流畅之处很难预测到。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, as more time went by, they gained experience with this uncommon distribution of disfluencies. Listeners started to demonstrate the contrary predictive behavior: They tended to look at simple objects when hearing the speaker say um.(然而,随着时间的推移,他们获得了这种不常见的不流畅分布的经验。听众开始表现出相反的预测行为:当听到说话者说“嗯”时,他们倾向于看简单的物体)”可知,第四段中的实验显示的是听众可以相应地调整预测。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But science tells us there may be even more to disfluency.(但科学告诉我们,不流畅表达传达的信息可能更多)”、最后一段“These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a prediction machine: We continuously try to predict what will happen next, even though not all disfluencies are created equal.(这些发现进一步证明了人类大脑是一台预测机器:我们不断尝试预测接下来会发生什么,尽管并非所有的不流畅都是相同的)”以及文章内容可知,本段主要介绍了听者不喜欢不流畅的表达,说话迟缓且话中有大量的“嗯”和停顿的人通常被认为不那么有魅力。但科学研究发现不流畅传达的信息比人们认为的要多,所以“不流畅传达的信息比人们认为的要多”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is a necessary process for maintaining the health of the human body. ____16____ Here are four research-backed reasons why this salt-based fluid can benefit you.
•Sweating is good for your skin.
Sweat is known to cool the skin, bringing toxins (毒素) to the surface and giving the skin a healthy glow. Research shows that sweating can increase and maintain skin hydration. However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne (痤疮). ____17____
•Sweating makes you happy.
When you are hot, your heart beats faster to cool the body, releasing endorphins that cause feelings of joy. ____18____ In a recent study, people who smelled “joyful sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness. However, those exposed to fear-induced sweat showed characteristics of terror.
•Sweating supports your heart.
When sitting in a sauna (桑拿), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to cool itself down by sweating. ____19____ A 20-year Finnish study found that people who sweated it out regularly in a sauna had a lower rate of sudden cardiac (心脏的) deaths.
•____20____
If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign. Athletes tend to sweat sooner and more than inactive people. Their bodies have learned to cool down more efficiently during physical activity. A study conducted by the Public Library of Science supports this, showing that long-distance runners not only got sweatier sooner, but also activated more sweat glands (汗腺), resulting in more sweat than their non-active counterparts.
A. And you’ll be better off for it.
B. Sweating a lot means that you are fit.
C. Thus, it’s essential to wash your face and body after sweating.
D. Sweat is the stuff that floods out when our body temperature rises.
E. Sweating contributes to a decrease in blood pressure to some extent.
F. Your sweaty self can also make those around you feel more delightful.
G. This is a natural bodily function that helps to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章从四个方面解释了为什么出汗有好处。
【16题详解】
前一句“Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is necessary.(出汗可能不是你最喜欢做的事情,但它是必要的)”提到,出汗是必要的,G项“这是一种自然的身体功能,有助于调节体温,防止过热”是对sweating的一个整体性的介绍性文字,其中的“It”指代前一句中“Sweating”,同时也是对前一句中“necessary”的进一步解释,故选G。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Sweating is good for your skin.(出汗对你的皮肤有好处)”和前一句“However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne.(然而,汗液在皮肤上停留太长时间会导致痤疮等皮肤病)”可知,本段讲出汗对皮肤的好处,但是皮肤上停留太长时间会导致痤疮等皮肤病,由此推知,设空处应与清洗有关,C项“所以,出汗后洗脸和洗澡是很有必要的”符合语境,和前一句构成因果关系,故选C。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Sweating makes you happy.(出汗让你快乐)”和空后一句“In a 2015 study, people who smelled “happy sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness.(在2015年的一项研究中,闻到‘快乐汗水’的人表现出与幸福相关的倾向)”可知,本段主要讲出汗让人感到快乐,闻到“快乐汗水”的人也会快乐,F项“汗流浃背的自己也会让你周围的人感到更快乐”符合语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“When sitting in a sauna(桑拿), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to cool itself down by sweating.”(当你坐在桑拿浴室里时,你的体温会升高,所以你的身体会超时工作,通过出汗来降温)可知,选项承接上文说明其好处。故A选项“你会感觉更好”切题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据本段中“If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign.(如果你在运动中大量出汗,这通常是一个积极的迹象)”可知,本段是讲出汗多是一个积极的迹象,B项“出汗多意味着你很健康”符合语境,B项中的“a lot”和段落中“heavily”、“got sweatier”、“more sweat”相关,故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国三处地质遗址入选国际地质科学联合会名录及相关地质遗址的价值。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这三个入选的遗址分别是广西壮族自治区的桂林喀斯特、内蒙古自治区的乌达化石遗址二叠纪植被,以及四川省的大山铺中侏罗世恐龙化石遗址。该句中谓语动词为are,且无连词,所以此处为非谓语动词,sites与select为被动关系,用过去分词selected作前置定语,修饰sites。故填selected。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:2022年,中国在国际地质科学联合会名录中获得了七个席位,包括珠穆朗玛峰奥陶纪岩层和云南石林喀斯特。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“In 2022”,描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,所以谓语动词为secured。故填secured。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:这些遗址以其独特的地质特征和科学意义而闻名。此处与“geological features”并列作介词for的宾语,用significant的名词形式significance,意为“意义”,为不可数名词。故填significance。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:入选该名录意味着它们对全球地质研究具有重要意义。此处为固定搭配“be of great importance”,意为“具有重要意义”,相当于“be very important”,所以用介词of。故填of。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些遗址的保护工作得到了国际社会的极高赞誉。此处修饰形容词high,用extraordinary的副词形式extraordinarily,意为“极其、非常”。故填extraordinarily。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:乌达化石遗址尤为显著,因为它保存了约2.98亿年前的一片森林。is为系动词,此处作表语,用remark的形容词形式remarkable,意为“显著的、值得注意的”。故填remarkable。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这片古老的森林展示了哪些植物促成了煤炭的形成,并清晰呈现了当时地球生态系统的面貌。picture为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一幅清晰的面貌”,表示泛指,且clear是以辅音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此外,该遗址有助于人们了解煤炭是如何形成的,以及形成大量煤炭的森林是什么样子的。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,先行词为the forest,指物,在从句中作主语,用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:随着该地区煤炭开采的持续进行,当地政府机构正努力寻找在维持煤炭生产的同时保护化石的方法。agency为可数名词,作主语,结合谓语动词“are trying”可知,此处为名词复数形式agencies。故填agencies。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着该地区煤炭开采的持续进行,当地政府机构正努力寻找在维持煤炭生产的同时保护化石的方法。此处为非谓语动词作状语,local government agencies与maintain为主动关系,用现在分词maintaining。故填maintaining。

Two-Day Weekend Policy in Our School
Our school has recently introduced a two-day weekend policy, allowing students and teachers to rest on both Saturdays and Sundays. This change aims to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
Most students welcome the policy, saying they now have more time for hobbies and family. Teachers also appreciate the extra rest, which helps them prepare lessons more effectively. However, a few worry about keeping up with studies, as they feel weekends might become too relaxed.

第二节(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整故事。
When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervous about many things. But nothing compared to the problem that I got to the age where my voice started changing. At first, the voice getting deep excited me. But then I learned before getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).
The first time it happened I was so embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun of me. In fact, they didn’t even mention it. But in my self-conscious sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun of me behind my back. They weren’t having the same problem.
After my first voice crack experience, I was determined to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. At least not in public. So, except for strategic times I said, “cool” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My logic was, “If I don’t use my voice, it cannot crack.” However, I couldn’t go without talking forever. I needed a new solution.
I began clearing my throat before speaking, which actually seemed to help. Limiting how much I spoke and clearing my voice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger problem. I was much more scared about having a voice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spoken with. I didn’t want their first impressions of me to be based on a voice crack.
Unfortunately, one day my concern came true. It was about two months after the beginning of the term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I got into the classroom. I noticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking about how he would take attendance. My permanent teacher never had to, since he already knew each student, I panicked. So many thoughts rushed through my mind that I couldn’t think straight. I calmed myself down by telling myself that I only had to say one word “Here”. “Easy enough, right?” I thought so until my name was called. I did my routine — cleared my throat, took a breath, and said, “Here.” The only problem was that while saying this, I had the worst voice crack in the history of voice cracks.
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。
The whole class turned to look at me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Version 1:
The whole class turned to look at me. My face burned with embarrassment as I felt each pair of eyes fixed on me. The substitute teacher’s puzzled expression only added to the awkward moment. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole, but all I could do was shift uncomfortably in my seat. The whispers that followed were like knives to my self-esteem. When the bell finally rang for the break, I rushed out of the classroom, feeling utterly humiliated. It seemed like the whole school now knew about my voice crack.(87 words)
“You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said. His reassuring words caught me off guard. As he shared his own similar experiences, I realized I wasn’t alone in this struggle. Knowing that others were going through the same thing made me feel seen and understood. His empathy sparked a sense of team spirit and support that I hadn't anticipated. Gradually, I let go of the fear of judgment and started to embrace my voice cracks as a natural part of growing up. This newfound sense of confidence and self-acceptance transformed my interactions at school, making me feel more at ease and connected with my peers.(97 words)
Version 2:
The whole class turned to look at me. I felt my face turning red and wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole. The embarrassment was unbearable, and I couldn’t even bring myself to meet anyone’s gaze. After what felt like an eternity, the substitute teacher finally spoke up, breaking the awkward silence. He chuckled and said, “Well, that’s quite a lovely young voice!” The class laughed friendly along with him, and I managed a weak smile, wondering whether they were just trying to make me feel better. Finally, the bell rang and I walked out to have some fresh air. (94 words)
“You know, the voice problem you met in class is normal,” a classmate came to me and said. “Everyone goes through it. It happens to most of us during this stage of life.” He explained how he had also experienced voice cracks and how he had learned to embrace them as a natural part of growing up. I looked at him in surprise, grateful for his reassurance. My initial embarrassment and concern gave way to gratitude and confidence. My classmates were understanding and supportive, just as my friends had been from the beginning. With their encouragement, I gradually became more confident in using my voice, accepting the changes that came with puberty without fear or shame. (98 words)
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了上六年级的作者经历了声音突变。刚开始他对嗓音变低感到兴奋,但发现声音嘶哑后备感尴尬。尽管朋友并未嘲笑他,但他仍自卑,担心被人议论。为避免尴尬,他选择少说话,甚至在上课前清嗓子。然而,在代课老师的一堂课上老师点名,作者不得已必须答到,但就是这一声“到”让他尴尬不已。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“全班都转过头来看着我。”可知,第一段可描写听到作者的声音后同学们的反应和作者的尴尬。
②由第二段首句内容“‘你知道,你在课堂上遇到的声音问题是正常的,’一个同学走过来对我说。”可知,第二段可描写作者得到同学的安慰和鼓励,开始勇敢接受破音的问题。
2.续写线索:受到全班同学的注视——感到万分尴尬——带着羞辱冲出教室——得到同学的安慰——正视和接受自己的问题
3.词汇激活
行为类
①希望:wish/hope

Anantawan was born without most of his right forearm. The disability was a greatest impediment to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛).
Instead of giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided to find him a different instrument to explore his musical talent. “My family chose the violin because they thought it was the most beautiful instrument,” Anantawan said. They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast (石膏) on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow.
A group of engineers worked alongside Anantawan to build a special device. With it, Anantawan could use the bow and use his shoulder to make the sound. “From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination,” he said.
Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is that teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything are able to accept diversity.
Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provide accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of their disability.
4 What does the underlined word “impediment” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Possibility. B. Barrier. C. Achievement. D. Regret.
5 Why did Anantawan’s family get in touch with the hospital?
A. To find a man-made hand for him.
B. To inspire him to learn to play the recorder.
C. To put forward suggestions on adapting a violin.
D. To add something extra to assist his right arm.
6. What does Anantawan think is the key to the disabled’s access to music?
A. Inclusive atmosphere. B. Fair competitions.
C. Enough resources. D. Lasting cooperation.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why Anantawan becomes active. B. Who Anantawan plays music with.
C. How Anantawan lives in his free time. D. What Anantawan contributes his time to.
C
When young children’s behavior becomes challenging, many parents turn to threats. Many parents threatened to leave an activity or place, or not get snacks. “Discipline (管教) helps young children learn what behaviors are safe and proper and can play an important role in helping them learn the difference between right and wrong,” said Susan Woolford, M. D. “Empty threats, however, destroy trust and aren’t usually effective.”
Most parents surveyed reported getting input about discipline strategies from several sources, turning to the child’s other parent, talking with friends or using parenting books, articles and social media. Meanwhile, less than a fifth of parents have discussed discipline with a healthcare provider and one in eight parents say they haven’t thought about their discipline strategies. Some parents surveyed admitted using discipline strategies that aren’t recommended by experts, with two in five sometimes spanking (打屁股).
“Discipline strategies should be proper for the child’s age and developmental level.” Woolford said. For children aged one to two, distraction (分散注意力) and redirection are often most effective, noting that children this young are exploring their environment and willful misbehavior is quite few. But after age two, children understand their actions can cause a reaction from others and may increasingly test that out. Parents of children aged three to five surveyed were more likely to use warnings, speak firmly, and give timeouts.
During these preschool ages, parents should let them know what their misbehavior will lead to. For instance, if a child throws a drink out of anger, a proper punishment would be to have them clean up the mess while an unrelated punishment will be less effective. Reactions should be immediate, so the child understands the connection with their misbehavior.
As children grow, they respond differently to various discipline methods, so parents should adapt their strategies and stay open to new approaches. “Balancing correction with positive strengthening — like praise and rewards — helps children build self-respect while learning from their mistakes.” Woolford said.
8. What will threatening bring to kids according to Susan Woolford?
A. Less belief in parents. B. More improper behaviors.
C. Unwillingness to accept gifts. D. Inability to tell right from wrong.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Effective threats to children. B. Situations of discipline strategies.
C. Various methods of parenting. D. Reasons for children’s misbehavior.
10. What should parents do with the misbehavior of children aged 3 to 5?
A. Reason with them patiently and seriously.
B. Reflect on the causes of their mistakes.
C. Forgive them for their childish actions.
D. Punish them immediately and properly.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Praise and rewards ensure self-respect.
B. Disciplining children is a flexible process.
C. Parenting becomes easier as children grow.
D. Correcting mistakes is a new parenting approach.
D
When you ask people to judge others by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency. Slow talkers producing loads of ums and pauses (停顿) are generally perceived as less charming. But science tells us there may be even more to disfluency.
Disfluencies do not occur in arbitrary positions in sentences. Ums typically occur right before more difficult or low-frequency words. Imagine you’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items on the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Your friend turns to you and says, “Could you hand me the...um...” What would you assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate before such common words as knife, and glass, chances are you’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “You mean this?”
This is exactly what we demonstrated through controlled eye-tracking studies in our lab. Apparently, listeners hear the um and predict that an uncommon word is most likely to follow. Such predictions, though, reflect more than just simple association between disfluencies and difficult words; listeners are actively considering from the speaker’s point of view. For example, when hearing a non-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick foreign accent, listeners don’t show a preference for looking at low-frequency objects. This is probably because listeners assume non-native speakers may have as much trouble coming up with the English word for a common object, like a knife, as for unusual ones and can’t guess their intention.
In another experiment, listeners were presented with an uncommon speaker who produced disfluencies before simple words and never before difficult words. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy: looking at uncommon objects. However, as more time went by, they gained experience with this uncommon distribution of disfluencies. Listeners started to demonstrate the contrary predictive behavior: They tended to look at simple objects when hearing the speaker say um.
These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a prediction machine: We continuously try to predict what will happen next, even though not all disfluencies are created equal.

A. Pauses usually follow uncommon words. B. Slow talkers tend to pause more.

15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article?
A. Pauses Coexist with Hesitation B. Human Brains Have the Power to Predict

Sweating may not be your favorite thing to do, but it is a necessary process for maintaining the health of the human body. ____16____ Here are four research-backed reasons why this salt-based fluid can benefit you.
•Sweating is good for your skin.
Sweat is known to cool the skin, bringing toxins (毒素) to the surface and giving the skin a healthy glow. Research shows that sweating can increase and maintain skin hydration. However, leaving sweat on the skin for too long can cause skin diseases such as acne (痤疮). ____17____
•Sweating makes you happy.
When you are hot, your heart beats faster to cool the body, releasing endorphins that cause feelings of joy. ____18____ In a recent study, people who smelled “joyful sweat” displayed tendencies associated with happiness. However, those exposed to fear-induced sweat showed characteristics of terror.
•Sweating supports your heart.
When sitting in a sauna (桑拿), your body temperature rises, so your body works overtime to cool itself down by sweating. ____19____ A 20-year Finnish study found that people who sweated it out regularly in a sauna had a lower rate of sudden cardiac (心脏的) deaths.
•____20____
If you sweat heavily during exercise, that’s usually a positive sign. Athletes tend to sweat sooner and more than inactive people. Their bodies have learned to cool down more efficiently during physical activity. A study conducted by the Public Library of Science supports this, showing that long-distance runners not only got sweatier sooner, but also activated more sweat glands (汗腺), resulting in more sweat than their non-active counterparts.
A. And you’ll be better off for it.
B. Sweating a lot means that you are fit.
C. Thus, it’s essential to wash your face and body after sweating.
D. Sweat is the stuff that floods out when our body temperature rises.
E. Sweating contributes to a decrease in blood pressure to some extent.
F. Your sweaty self can also make those around you feel more delightful.
G. This is a natural bodily function that helps to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervous about many things. But nothing compared to the problem that I got to the age where my voice started changing. At first, the voice getting deep excited me. But then I learned before getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).
The first time it happened I was so embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun of me. In fact, they didn’t even mention it. But in my self-conscious sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun of me behind my back. They weren’t having the same problem.
After my first voice crack experience, I was determined to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. At least not in public. So, except for strategic times I said, “cool” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My logic was, “If I don’t use my voice, it cannot crack.” However, I couldn’t go without talking forever. I needed a new solution.
I began clearing my throat before speaking, which actually seemed to help. Limiting how much I spoke and clearing my voice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger problem. I was much more scared about having a voice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spoken with. I didn’t want their first impressions of me to be based on a voice crack.
Unfortunately, one day my concern came true. It was about two months after the beginning of the term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I got into the classroom. I noticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking about how he would take attendance. My permanent teacher never had to, since he already knew each student, I panicked. So many thoughts rushed through my mind that I couldn’t think straight. I calmed myself down by telling myself that I only had to say one word “Here”. “Easy enough, right?” I thought so until my name was called. I did my routine — cleared my throat, took a breath, and said, “Here.” The only problem was that while saying this, I had the worst voice crack in the history of voice cracks.
