Play-based learning-letting children move around,make up games and explore within loosely guided activities-usually stops when they attend primary school.Lessons then become desk-based,focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play,working hard to bring it into breaktimes."Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn't take any more planning than the standard approach."With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children,Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren't working."If a practice isn't in line with healthy child development,why are we doing it?” The school's year 5 children-aged 9 and 10-were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture."The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn.A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged."A teacher noted:"Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily. Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change."We have neuroscience( 经科学)tell us children learn through play.”In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection."The inspector really understood our play-based learning.Farr's message is that her approach can be rolled out."It's blown my mind how engaged the children are. It's phenomenal,"she says. 24.What change does Farr bring to her school? A.Additional income. B.Flexible environments. C.Upgraded equipment. D.Diverse outdoor games. 25.Why did Farr decide to change other ineffective practices? A.To reduce teachers'workload. B.To enhance the school's reputation. C.To improve students'academic results. D.To promote kids'well-being and growth. 26.Which of the following can best describe Farr according to the last paragraph? A.Firm and confident. B.Mild and cooperative. C.Humble and grounded. D.Merciful and generous 27.What message does the text mainly convey? A.Actions speak louder than words. B.Keep your play clean until the last whistle. C.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. D.By learning to obey,you learn to command. 英语试题（长郡版）第4页（共10页） C Have you ever heard some children screaming with irritation()on an airplane and complained,"Can't their parents take a little control?"Read on. Irritability is a high likelihood of becoming frustrated or angry.This hair-trigger temper may influence children's relationships and school performances.Experts used to see it as an early symptom of bipolar disorder(双相情感障碍).But by tracking such children over many years,clinical child psychologist Spencer Evans,a researcher directing the University of Miami's Child Affect and Behavior Lab,found that they actually develop depression and anxiety,the symptoms of Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder(DMDD破坏性心境失调障碍). One study confirmed severely irritable children's different response to frustration ()It involved 134 children between 8 and 18 who had irritability and a diagnosis of DMDD,with 61 non-irritable volunteers.Lying in the MRI scanner,the children played a game,earning 50 cents for every target they hit-until the researchers intentionally frustrated them by reducing winnings. Though irritable and non-irritable kids reported similar levels of frustration,the brains of the irritable group showed heightened activity in the striatum(脑s纹状体)，a brain region important for processing rewards,and in the prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮 )key to administrating emotions and performing tasks.The latter suggests that irritable kids need more effort to concentrate."It's unclear why children come down with DMDD,yet it possibly involves genes,hard experiences and parenting ways," Evans says. Recently,clinicians are trying to help by creating anger-provoking situations like asking patients to stop video games,meanwhile instructing them to cope with their frustrations.They also trained parents to ignore irritation at home and reward constructive coping behaviors.While drugging children sounds awful,Evans says medications can help make them more receptive to therapy.Evans also adds that kids with DMDD need more empathy and understanding in general. So,next time in a child-screaming situation,just be nice to your fellow human 28.What does the underlined word "hair-trigger"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Related to hair. B.Extremely sensitive. C.Of little significance. D.Particularly stable. 29.What can we learn about the study? A.The findings were totally unexpected by the researchers. B.The process went naturally without any human intervention. C.The subjects differed in real-time brain activities across groups. D.The method turned out too primitive to serve scientific research. 30.How does the author present the potential causes of DMDD? A.By listing statistics. B.By drawing a flow chart. C.By quoting a researcher. D.By citing an example. 英语试题（长郡版）第5页（共10页） 31.What can we infer about the treatment of DMDD? A.It requires collective efforts. B.It is an entirely mental practice. C.It bans patients from digital devices. D.It consumes large amounts of money. N A new study mapping the planetary boundary of“functional biosphere(生物圈) integrity"in spatial detail and over centuries finds that human activity has pushed most of Earth's land beyond safe biosphere limits.The study was led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research(PIK)together with BOKU University in Vienna and published in the journal One Earth. Functional biosphere integrity refers to the plant world's ability to co-regulate( the state of the Earth system.It requires the plant world to acquire enough energy through photosynthesis(光合作用)to maintain the material flows of carbon,water and nitrogen()that support the ecosystems and their networked processes.Energy flows drive all of life,but humans are disturbing nature's dynamic processes. Based on the global biosphere model LPJmL,which simulates water,carbon and nitrogen flows on a daily basis,the study provides a detailed image for each year since the 1600.The research team also evaluated two indicators (stress indicator and risk indicator)by comparing with other measures from the literature for which "critical thresholds()"are known.This resulted in each global land area being assigned a status:Safe Operating Space,Zone of Increasing Risk or High Risk Zone. The model calculation shows that worrying developments began as early as 1600 in the mid-latitudes().By 1900,the Increasing-Risk Zone and the High-Risk Zone accounted for 37%and 14%respectively,compared to 60%and 38%today. Industrialization was beginning to take its toll;land use affected the state of the Earth system much earlier than climate warming.At present,this biosphere boundary has been broken on almost all land surface-primarily in Europe,Asia and North America-that underwent strong land cover changes,mainly due to agriculture. "This is a breakthrough from a scientific perspective,offering a better overall understanding of planetary boundaries,"says Johan Rockstrom,one of the co-authors of the study."It also inspires further development of international climate policy." 32.What is functional biosphere integrity mainly about? A.The smoothness of material flows within the plant world. B.The stability of plant species covering lands of the Earth C.The harmony between the plant world and life-supporting systems. D.The diversity of materials produced by the plant world on the Earth. 33.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.What challenges the researchers met with. B.How the research was scientifically conducted. C.When the stress and risk came up for the first time. D.Why global land areas were at different risk levels. 英语试题（长郡版）第6页（共10页） 34.Which of the following probably shows the broken biosphere in 1900? D ☐High Risk ☑Inereasing Risk 35.What is Johan Rockstrom's attitude towards the study? A.Skeptical.B.Objective. C.Unclear. D.Favorable. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Have you ever walked away from a conversation with the sinking feeling that you said too much?Not because you were impolite or inconsiderate-but because you tried to explain yourself to someone who didn't really want to understand?36 Over-explaining happens often in our daily life.This behavior originated in early survival strategies.For those raised in emotionally unpredictable households,clarity may be a form of self-protection.Anticipating others'reactions,smoothing things over,or presenting a "bulletproof"reason may prevent punishment or emotional fallout.37 People who have ever undergone trauma()tend to explain a lot to avoid conflict or rejection. Regardless of origin,the pattern is the same:We spend unnecessary energy trying to justify our right to take up space,to say no or to make choices others might not like. 38_Clear language like“I've made my decision.”and“Let's shift the conversation..” can actually do the trick.These direct statements prioritize emotional honesty without over-disclosure.And they don't leave space for negotiation where none is guaranteed. 39 You spend less of it in practicing,defending,or recovering,and you needn't always react to others'discomfort.You also start attracting a different kind of relationship.It is based not on performance or submission,but on mutual respect. 40 You begin healing the part of you that believed love had to be earned through explanation.The version of you who felt unsafe being misunderstood learns a new truth: Your worth was never conditional or dependent on being agreeable or persuasive. A.If so,you are not alone. B.But maybe the biggest shift is internal. C.Like any behavioral change,this takes practice D.But it's not impossible to rid ourselves of the trouble. E.When you stop over-explaining,you reclaim emotional energy F.Have you ever explained to show your politeness and consideration? G.Over-explaining can also come from the way your brain is wired by past experiences 英语试题（长郡版）第7页（共10页） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 As Bell,the distinguished violinist and the symphony performed,a little boy in the audience seat occasionally accompanied them with his own spontaneous(自发的)，sweet sounds.Every now and then,his 41 to the music was full of excitement and abandon.

The big day did come.Wendy and her parents arrived at the spot with uncontrollable excitement.There were seas of people-volunteers,news reporters and well-equipped athletes.Wendy wanted to perform well to prove that determination could overcome any obstacle.It was super-hot that day,but Wendy managed to come to the last 400 meters.Behind her lay 41 kilometers and 795 meters of Los Angeles asphalt ()but every step forward cost more than the last ten kilometers combined.She had missed the last water station-the cup had slipped through her trembling fingers. The heat had grown teeth,chewing the strength from her legs,and clouded her mind. Suddenly,darkness flashed across her eyes,she lost her balance and crashed to the ground. 注意： （1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At this time,two orange-shirted medical volunteers jogged toward her.
