二、阅读理解
Kids today have a lot of worries. A Grade 7 student , Alexandra Banks, at the Harmony School in San Antonio, the US, found a way to help with the problems.
In 2022, Banks got depression (抑郁症).But that was not all. She said that the biggest problem is finding a place to sit with her feelings.
“I know maybe a lot of kids in my school have no anxiety (焦虑症) or depression, but just feel sad,” Banks said.
To help her schoolmates, Banks thought of the idea of having a “Mood (情绪) Room” inside the school. In this room, students can rest, share their feelings, and get better.
The Harmony School supported (支持) her idea and bought things like a sofa, beanbag chairs, desks and play dough (橡皮泥) for the room. The school will even have a ribbon-cutting ceremony (剪彩仪式) for the Mood Room next year.

What you do after studying could have a big effect on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.
The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits (好处) of resting after learning — what is called “wakeful rest”.
A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.
If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!
Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School(HMS)notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived (睡眠被剥夺的) person cannot focus attention well and so cannot learn well”. It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize (记忆) and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.”
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it — a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.
1.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The importance of sleep. B.The reason for having a rest.
C.The good ways to get a rest. D.The types of resting activities.
2.Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying?
A.Sitting there doing nothing. B.Playing a video game.
C.Reading a newspaper. D.Having a nice sleep at night.
3.How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?
A.Less than 7 hours. B.Just 7 hours.
C.No more than 9 hours. D.Around 9 hours.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Low-cost Tips on Working
B.Good Things to Do After Your Study
C.Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep?
D.How Long Should We Rest After Learning?
The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.
“When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.”
Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.”
Given that separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.”
Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues. They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more.
1.What is Merrigan’s class like?
A.Warm, supportive, and engaging.
B.Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven.
C.Loving and teacher-centered.
D.Caring and focused on personal work.
2.Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories?
A.To learn about children’s behavior patterns.
B.To help with exact grading and assessments (评价).
C.To easily manage possible classroom differences.
D.To make her students more focused on her lessons.
3.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Managing Parental Separation Anxiety.
B.attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement.
C.Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods.
D.Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens.
You can picture it already: relaxing with your closest friends and exploring new exciting destinations. All the while you’re enjoying great food and making fantastic memories (回忆). 1 Use our tips to plan a trip with friends where you’ll come home not only relaxed but closer than ever.
2 Slow down and honestly discuss what everyone hopes to get out of the vacation before booking anything. Talk about where you’d like to and how long a vacation is OK for all. Will you be together all of the time? 3 Will there be one or two main planning leaders? Make sure everyone plays a part in planning the vacation.
Have the money talk. No one likes the uncomfortable talk about how the money is going to work, but it is a necessary part of planning. 4 So it’s best to have honest conversations about money. Try to find some common ground when planning a budget (预算) for accommodations, visiting attractions, meals out, and activities.
Stay safe. While you don’t have to be with the group every minute of your trip, agree to stay accountable (负有责任的) to each other for everyone’s safety. That means no leaving without telling the group where you’re going. 5 Look out for one another and use common sense so everyone stays safe.
A.Have a full discussion.
B.Choose a tour leader of your group.
C.Will there be days to explore separately?
D.People often have different ideas when it comes to money.
E.Be sure that everyone has each other’s contact information on their phone.
F.Having a travel adviser would be easier than doing all the booking yourself.
G.However, travelling with your closest friends sometimes can be a terrible experience.
三、完形填空
History is always an important part of every school’s curriculum. In reality, some children find no interest in history, while others consider history as one of the most 1 courses they have ever learned. To 2 all school students to learn history, teachers should change the ways of lecture delivery.
One method is to 3 modern technology. Teachers should provide children with Internet-based computers to help them get instant 4 to the huge resources on the Internet. In this way, it takes them only a few minutes to search for the information online, and another few minutes to 5 it with their friends on social media platforms. In addition, children love cartoons.

For example, a military hand-held radio can help children understand the 12 between different armies in the battle from the inside out 13 a teacher shows its details and lectures at the same time.
In a word, a 14 can use modern technology or take children to historical sites in order to 15 their interest towards history courses.

My father always told me: “All work is noble.” He wasn’t 1 , but he earned a reasonable living. Thanks to his effort, I was able to go to an art college. I, however, wanted to do something 2 , something more interesting. I was special!
After graduation, I moved to New York in search of a graphic designer job. It was winter and, ever the optimist, I only brought enough money to 3 myself for about a month. I wasn’t 4 — I was sure I’d find a fantastic job immediately.
Within a few weeks, though, I found myself wandering around the streets, having been 5 by every design office in town. My hotel 6 was almost gone and I hadn’t eaten in days. “How had I reached this point?” I wondered as I trembled in my thin jacket.
I was just about to 7 when my dad called. He suggested that I get a job in a restaurant until something else came along. At first, pride made me 8 . But I was cold, hungry, and unwilling to go home, feeling 9 and defeated.
I entered an expensive-looking café near one of the design offices that had turned me away and asked the manager if they were 10 people. She said they were short-handed, and offered me a job right away.
11 , I found that I really enjoyed serving people. I started making big 12 right away. Later, the manager learnt that I had a design 13 and asked me to design the café menus. That led to a parttime job at an advertising company.
Previously, I had never considered being a 14 but there I was. I eventually got my dream design job, but that winter I learnt not to make 15 about work.

五、书面表达
1.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was used to correcting my school essays (作文) with some red-ink marks until I met my high school English teacher, Linda Christensen. For our final projects, Ms. Christensen would write two-page letters with praise and professional comments. I had never had a teacher who was so thoughtful and careful with my writing.
I loved writing. It was a hobby. But Ms. Christensen was determined to make me an author. Her comments were more than just about fixing grammatical errors. She wrote questions to make my essays more detailed; she underlined passages that she agreed with. Her letters always started with how proud she was that I was brave enough to write the truth, how she saw potential (潜力) in me. I would read her words over and over.
I needed this care, this recognition. I was the last Watson child to attend Jefferson High School. My sister Cheryl was known for being one of the star writers of the school newspaper. Trisa, another sister, had participated in two study-abroad programs. Dyan, another sister, was good at playing the piano. My sisters were involved in all types of after-school activities, while I was the little one following them like a shadow. No one noticed my existence except Ms. Christensen.
Adapting to high school was challenging, and I felt unconfident. On the first day of my high school, a teacher greeted me with a hug, saying, “You have some big shoes to fill.” Then she showed me the trophies (奖杯) in the hallway. I immediately recognized several: Cheryl, Trisa, and Dyan. I was inspired, yes, but mostly worried.
My Spanish was so-so. I got good grades but was not a top student. I loved music, but I wasn’t good at playing any musical instrument. I tried to walk in my sisters’ shoes, but they didn’t fit. I tried to follow their steps, but it’s too hard, really.
注意:
2. 续写词数应为150左右;
3. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
And then I met Ms. Christensen.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was Ms. Christensen that gave me the power to be an author.

Kids today have a lot of worries. A Grade 7 student , Alexandra Banks, at the Harmony School in San Antonio, the US, found a way to help with the problems.
In 2022, Banks got depression (抑郁症).But that was not all. She said that the biggest problem is finding a place to sit with her feelings.
“I know maybe a lot of kids in my school have no anxiety (焦虑症) or depression, but just feel sad,” Banks said.
To help her schoolmates, Banks thought of the idea of having a “Mood (情绪) Room” inside the school. In this room, students can rest, share their feelings, and get better.
The Harmony School supported (支持) her idea and bought things like a sofa, beanbag chairs, desks and play dough (橡皮泥) for the room. The school will even have a ribbon-cutting ceremony (剪彩仪式) for the Mood Room next year.

What you do after studying could have a big effect on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.
When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied.
The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.
While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits (好处) of resting after learning — what is called “wakeful rest”.
A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest.
If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!
Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School(HMS)notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived (睡眠被剥夺的) person cannot focus attention well and so cannot learn well”. It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize (记忆) and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.”
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.
Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it — a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.
1.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The importance of sleep. B.The reason for having a rest.
C.The good ways to get a rest. D.The types of resting activities.
2.Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying?
A.Sitting there doing nothing. B.Playing a video game.
C.Reading a newspaper. D.Having a nice sleep at night.
3.How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF?
A.Less than 7 hours. B.Just 7 hours.
C.No more than 9 hours. D.Around 9 hours.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Low-cost Tips on Working
B.Good Things to Do After Your Study
C.Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep?
D.How Long Should We Rest After Learning?
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两种提高学习效果和记忆力的无成本方法:清醒休息和睡眠,并详细解释了它们的作用和实施方式。
1.主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.(核心原理很简单:学习结束后停止其他活动,大脑就能获得休息的机会。而当你在玩电脑游戏时,大脑很难得到休息。)”可知,该段核心是解释学习后需要休息的原因——停止活动能让大脑获得休息机会,而进行游戏等活动则无法实现休息。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. (但研究表明,学习后进行休息,或许能帮助你记住所学内容。)”以及第三段“The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.(核心原理很简单:学习结束后停止其他活动,大脑就能获得休息的机会。而当你在玩电脑游戏时,大脑很难得到休息。)”和第六段“Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games.(安静地休息5到10分钟,期间不要看手机、读故事或玩游戏。)”可知,学习后推荐进行“清醒休息”,即停止活动、安静休息,且明确禁止玩游戏、阅读等行为。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第八段“The National Sleep Foundation(NSF)suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.(美国国家睡眠基金会(NSF)建议,20至64岁的成年人每天应保证7至9小时的睡眠。青少年可能需要稍多一点的睡眠时间,而65岁以上的人群则可能需要略少一些。)”可知,美国国家睡眠基金会(NSF)建议20至64岁成年人每天睡7至9小时,而青少年需要比这个时长多一点。由此可知,青少年在成年人7-9小时的基础上多一点,选项D“Around 9 hours(大约9小时)”符合这一描述。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“What you do after studying could have a big effect on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.(学习结束后你所做的事,可能会对你的学习效果和记忆效果产生重大影响。在今天的“教育小贴士”中,我们将探讨两种免费的方法,帮助你提升学习效率:清醒休息和睡眠。)”以及全文围绕学习后应进行的 “清醒休息” 和 “睡眠” 展开介绍可知,文章核心是推荐学习后的有益做法。选项B“Good Things to Do After Your Study(学习后可做的有益之事)” 准确概括了文章介绍学习后“清醒休息”和“睡眠”两种有益方式的核心内容。故选B。
The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.
“When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.”
Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.”
Given that separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.”
Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues. They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more.
1.What is Merrigan’s class like?
A.Warm, supportive, and engaging.
B.Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven.
C.Loving and teacher-centered.
D.Caring and focused on personal work.
2.Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories?
A.To learn about children’s behavior patterns.
B.To help with exact grading and assessments (评价).
C.To easily manage possible classroom differences.
D.To make her students more focused on her lessons.
3.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Managing Parental Separation Anxiety.
B.attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement.
C.Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods.
D.Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了幼儿园老师宝拉・梅里根(Paula Merrigan)通过热情、关爱和个性化教学等方式,在幼儿园课堂中培养与孩子们的情感联系,让孩子们在学校有安全感,为他们的社交和学业成功奠定基础。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.(宝拉·梅里根(Paula Merrigan)幼儿园班级里的孩子们常常叫她妈妈,有时甚至叫她奶奶。部分原因是每天早上孩子们走进教室时,梅里根都会笑容满面地迎接他们。她在一天中的某个时候与他们中的每一个人一对一地工作,她慷慨地给予表扬、拥抱和关爱。)” 以及第三段 “Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about.(梅里根还让孩子们给她讲他们的故事,以了解他们热衷的事情)” 可知,她的课堂充满温暖、支持且互动性强。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’ re passionate about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said.(梅里根还让孩子们给她讲他们的故事,以了解他们热衷的事情。她说:“当你了解到他们喜欢的某些东西,并将其与你的教学主题联系起来时,他们会很喜欢”)” 可知,梅里根听学生的个人故事是为了让学生更专注于她的课程。故选D。
3.主旨大意题。根据第一段“The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten(幼儿园)class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.( 宝拉·梅里根(Paula Merrigan)幼儿园班级里的孩子们常常叫她妈妈,有时甚至叫她奶奶。部分原因是每天早上孩子们走进教室时,梅里根都会笑容满面地迎接他们。她在一天中的某个时候与他们中的每一个人一对一地工作,她慷慨地给予表扬、拥抱和关爱。)”可知,短文主要讲述了幼儿园老师宝拉・梅里根(Paula Merrigan)通过热情、关爱和个性化教学等方式,在幼儿园课堂中培养与孩子们的情感联系,让孩子们在学校有安全感,为他们的社交和学业成功奠定基础。所以短文的标题为“在幼儿园培养情感联系”。故选D。

My father always told me: “All work is noble.” He wasn’t 1 , but he earned a reasonable living. Thanks to his effort, I was able to go to an art college. I, however, wanted to do something 2 , something more interesting. I was special!
After graduation, I moved to New York in search of a graphic designer job. It was winter and, ever the optimist, I only brought enough money to 3 myself for about a month. I wasn’t 4 — I was sure I’d find a fantastic job immediately.
Within a few weeks, though, I found myself wandering around the streets, having been 5 by every design office in town. My hotel 6 was almost gone and I hadn’t eaten in days. “How had I reached this point?” I wondered as I trembled in my thin jacket.
I was just about to 7 when my dad called. He suggested that I get a job in a restaurant until something else came along. At first, pride made me 8 . But I was cold, hungry, and unwilling to go home, feeling 9 and defeated.
I entered an expensive-looking café near one of the design offices that had turned me away and asked the manager if they were 10 people. She said they were short-handed, and offered me a job right away.
11 , I found that I really enjoyed serving people. I started making big 12 right away. Later, the manager learnt that I had a design 13 and asked me to design the café menus. That led to a parttime job at an advertising company.
Previously, I had never considered being a 14 but there I was. I eventually got my dream design job, but that winter I learnt not to make 15 about work.

五、书面表达
1.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was used to correcting my school essays (作文) with some red-ink marks until I met my high school English teacher, Linda Christensen. For our final projects, Ms. Christensen would write two-page letters with praise and professional comments. I had never had a teacher who was so thoughtful and careful with my writing.
I loved writing. It was a hobby. But Ms. Christensen was determined to make me an author. Her comments were more than just about fixing grammatical errors. She wrote questions to make my essays more detailed; she underlined passages that she agreed with. Her letters always started with how proud she was that I was brave enough to write the truth, how she saw potential (潜力) in me. I would read her words over and over.
I needed this care, this recognition. I was the last Watson child to attend Jefferson High School. My sister Cheryl was known for being one of the star writers of the school newspaper. Trisa, another sister, had participated in two study-abroad programs. Dyan, another sister, was good at playing the piano. My sisters were involved in all types of after-school activities, while I was the little one following them like a shadow. No one noticed my existence except Ms. Christensen.
Adapting to high school was challenging, and I felt unconfident. On the first day of my high school, a teacher greeted me with a hug, saying, “You have some big shoes to fill.” Then she showed me the trophies (奖杯) in the hallway. I immediately recognized several: Cheryl, Trisa, and Dyan. I was inspired, yes, but mostly worried.
My Spanish was so-so. I got good grades but was not a top student. I loved music, but I wasn’t good at playing any musical instrument. I tried to walk in my sisters’ shoes, but they didn’t fit. I tried to follow their steps, but it’s too hard, really.
注意:
2. 续写词数应为150左右;
3. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
And then I met Ms. Christensen.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was Ms. Christensen that gave me the power to be an author.

【答案】例文
Para 1:
And then I met Ms. Christensen. She was different from any other teacher I had ever known. In her class, I found a safe place to express my thoughts and feelings. Her belief in me gave me the courage to stop trying to be someone else and start being myself. I remember the first time she praised my writing in front of the class. It was like a light bulb going off in my head. I realized that I had something unique to say, and people wanted to hear it.
Para 2:
It was Ms. Christensen that gave me the power to be an author. She saw potential in me that I didn’t even know existed. She taught me that writing was not just about grammar and punctuation, but about sharing a piece of myself with the world. To this day, when I sit down to write, I can still hear her voice in my head, urging me to be brave, to be honest, to be me. And for that, I will forever be grateful to Ms. Christensen.
