Peter loves baseball. Last summer, he helped to coach a school baseball team. When he first watched the team of 12-year-olds play baseball, his first impressions (印象) were not really positive.
Some players often left as soon as they started losing. Other players paid too much attention to all their mistakes during the game or preferred to dig up the grass when they weren’t in the play. A lot of boys threw their baseball bats when they lost the catch.
While their baseball skills improved over time with more practice, there were still problems. The team had a long way to go. For example, some boys were hard on those who made mistakes. Instead of being supportive or encouraging, they blamed (责怪) each other.
Peter started one-on-one talks with each player to discuss things that he had noticed. Some were about skills like holding the bat up higher or opening their eyes when they were making a catch. But most were about staying positive and supporting each other.
Things began to change slowly. The boys began to take the duties for their play instead of blaming others for mistakes. They stayed positive even when losing. The team culture was improving.
Players began encouraging each other, high-fiving and supporting teammates. Peter was especially pleased to see some of the boys taking leadership (领导) roles and having their own one-on-one talks with their teammates.
Peter didn’t think he made huge progress in teaching the boys how to throw, catch or hit better, but he was pleased that their conversations around the character led to something positive. Although the team still lost games, their character became stronger. Next season, their character will be tested again.
4. Which is one of the negative behaviors the players showed when Peter first watched them?
A. They gave up when they started losing.
B. They refused to practice baseball skills.
C. They paid no attention to their teammates.
D. They argued with the coach during games.
5. What was the main focus of Peter’s one-on-one talks with the players?
A. Improving baseball techniques.
B. Keeping a positive attitude.
C. Blaming players for their mistakes.
D. Making plans to win more games.
6 How did the players themselves help improve the team culture?
A. By studying other teams’ game videos.
B. By practicing baseball skills every night.
C. By encouraging and supporting each other.
D. By asking Peter to punish players who played poorly.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Team Success: Improved Baseball Skills
B. The Real Progress: Stronger Character
C. Team Culture: Ending Teammate Blame
D. Player Growth: Taking Leadership Roles
【答案】4 A 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了彼得(Peter)去年夏天协助指导一支学校棒球队的经历,核心在于展现他如何通过关注球员的性格品质与心态,而非单纯提升球技,推动球队文化发生积极转变。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Some players often left as soon as they started losing.(一些球员一输就开始退出)”可知,有一些球员一开始输就会放弃。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But most were about staying positive and supporting each other.(但大多数都是关于保持积极和相互支持)”可知,Peter的一对一对话主要重点是保持积极的态度。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Players began encouraging each other, high-fiving and supporting teammates. Peter was especially pleased to see some of the boys taking leadership (领导) roles and having their own one-on-one talks with their teammates.(球员们开始互相鼓励,击掌并支持队友。彼得特别高兴地看到一些男孩扮演了领导角色,并与队友进行了一对一的交谈)”可知,为了提高球队表现,球员互相鼓励支持彼此。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段“Peter started one-on-one talks with each player to discuss things that he had noticed. Some were about skills like holding the bat up higher or opening their eyes when they were making a catch. But most were about staying positive and supporting each other.(彼得开始与每个球员进行一对一的谈话,讨论他注意到的事情。有些是关于技巧,比如把球棒举得更高,或者在接球时睁开眼睛。但大多数都是关于保持积极和相互支持)”和第五段“Things began to change slowly. The boys began to take the duties for their play instead of blaming others for mistakes. They stayed positive even when losing. The team culture was improving.(事情开始慢慢地发生变化。男孩们开始为自己的比赛负起责任,而不是因为错误而责备别人。即使输了,他们也保持乐观。团队文化正在改善)”可知,本文主要讲的是彼得(Peter)去年夏天协助指导一支学校棒球队的经历,核心在于展现他如何通过关注球员的性格品质与心态,而非单纯提升球技,推动球队文化发生积极转变,因此B选项“The Real Progress: Stronger Character(真正的进步:更坚强的性格)”可作为最好的标题,故选B。
C
How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split (分摊) the bill after a meal to calculating (计算) your household bills. But many dread the moment they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety (焦虑)” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone.
Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teens feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear complex (复杂的) classes. Shulamit Kahn, a Boston University expert, argues that positive role models — especially female teachers — are critical to building confidence in young learners.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about underperforming (表现不佳). And once we suppose we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.”
The seed of maths anxiety may come from many sources, but some experts suggest that expressing our fears can loosen their hold on us and we should encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
8. What doesn’t lead to students’ maths anxiety according to paragraph 2?
A. Personal character. B. Homework stress.
C. Complex classes. D. Nervous teachers.
9. What does the underlined word “bluffing” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Stopping to solve the problem.
B. Shouting to express maths anxiety.
C. Acting like you know the answer.
D. Copying answers from others secretly.
10. What can we do to reduce maths anxiety according to the experts?
A. Avoid difficult maths tests.
B. Voice our fears and try again.
C. Start with simple maths problems.
D. Forget it and move on to harder problems.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To prove maths is harder than geography.
B To blame teachers for causing math anxiety.
C. To stress biological reasons for maths anxiety.
D. To explain maths anxiety and provide solutions.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了数学焦虑的现象,并介绍了其产生的原因和影响以及专家提出的应对方法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teens feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear complex (复杂的) classes. (研究将数学焦虑追溯到学校经历。焦虑的教师可能会无意间将自己的恐惧传递给学生。来自34个国家的数据揭示了惊人的数字:31%的青少年在解决问题时感到紧张,33%的青少年因家庭作业而压力大,近60%的青少年害怕复杂的课程)”可知,导致数学焦虑的因素包括焦虑的教师、作业压力和复杂课程,而“个人性格”在第二段中并未被提及,不属于导致学生数学焦虑的原因。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about underperforming (表现不佳). (但事实上数学只有一个正确答案,没有bluffing的空间,这可能会让你更担心表现不佳)”并结合选项可知,此处指的是数学只有一个正确答案,没有“假装知道答案”或“蒙混过关”的空间,所以“bluffing”应表示“假装知道答案”或“蒙混”。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The seed of maths anxiety may come from many sources, but some experts suggest that expressing our fears can loosen their hold on us and we should encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. (数学焦虑的根源可能来自很多方面,但一些专家建议,表达我们的恐惧可以减轻它们对我们的控制,我们应该鼓励孩子把数学考试看作是一种挑战,而不是威胁,事实上,我们需要对数学抱有积极的态度,并给它第二次机会)”可知,根据专家的建议,表达我们的恐惧并再次尝试可以减轻数学焦虑。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章首先描述了数学焦虑的普遍性,接着探讨了数学焦虑的来源,如紧张的教师、作业压力和复杂的课程等,然后解释了为什么数学比其他学科更容易引起恐惧,最后提出了减轻数学焦虑的建议,如表达恐惧并积极尝试。由此可推知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释数学焦虑并提供解决方案。故选D项。
D
The British are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK consumes (消耗) around 1.9kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most of the tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available in Britain to buy. However, it was only available to the richer of the society.
At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first, people drank this kind of tea exactly as it was drunk in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic.
In the early 1800s, tea was still a product enjoyed only by rich people. At this time, they began to have afternoon tea. This includes drinking tea with a snack around 4 p. m. to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.
In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased (降低) sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms where you could buy and drink tea started to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and socializing in these places. At the start of the 20th century, the British began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like doing it. Kttles (水壶) became necessary in every kitchen. Just like Samuel Johnson said, “Tea for pleasure at dusk (黄昏), tea for comfort (安逸) at night, and tea to welcome the new day in the morning.”
12. How did the British drink black tea in the beginning when it arrived in the 1700s?
A. They added milk and sugar in it.
B. They mixed it with green tea leaves.
C. They consumed it with afternoon snacks.
D. They drank tea in the same way as Chinese people.
13. What can we learn about afternoon tea in Britain from the text?
A. It can be drunk only in the tearooms now.
B. It is always popular among common people.
C. It was created to satisfy hunger between meals.
D. It has become more and more popular recently.
14. Why did the price of tea decrease sharply in the late 1800s in Britain?
A. More tea was shipped from Asia.
B. People in Britain got bored with drinking tea.
C. New technology made tea production cheaper.
D. Tearooms lowered tea prices to attract customers.
15. What do Samuel Johnson’s words suggest about tea in Britain?
A. It’s a national symbol. B. It’s a daily necessity.
C. It’s a social activity. D. It’s a health drink.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了茶文化在英国的发展历史。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At first, people drank this kind of tea exactly as it was drunk in China.(最初,人们完全按照中国人的方式饮用这种茶。)”可知,最初英国人饮用红茶的方式和中国人一样。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节题解题。根据第四段中的“This includes drinking tea with a snack around 4 p. m. to avoid feeling hungrybetween lunch and dinner.(这包括下午4点左右饮茶配点心,避免在午餐和晚餐间感到饥饿。)”可知,下午茶的目的是解决午餐和晚餐之间的饥饿感。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased (降低) sharply as more teabegan to arrive on ships from India and China.(19世纪末,随着越来越多的茶叶从印度和中国通过船只运抵,茶叶价格急剧下降。)”可知,茶叶价格急剧下跌的原因是来自中国和印度的茶叶供给增加,并根据地理常识可知中国和印度属于亚洲。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Samuel Johnson 的话“Tea for pleasure at dusk (黄昏), tea for comfort (安逸) at night, andtea to welcome the new day in the morning.(黄昏品茶以怡情,深夜饮茶得慰藉,晨起奉茶迎新生。)”可知,茶已深度融入英国人的日常生活成为必需品。故选B。
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。
In a video, someone cuts open a coconut (椰子), pours its juice and takes away meat in about five seconds. What does it take to master a skill like that?
Many people see it as a rule that says, “Just spend a lot of time practicing.” ____16____ Many studies have shown that to improve our skills, we cannot just practice, but must use “deliberate (刻意的) practice”.
So what is deliberate practice? Imagine you want to become a professional violin player. You can already play some great pieces. Do you get better by only playing those same pieces over and over again? Or do you try to learn new songs? ____17____ “Deliberate practice” is different from “common practice”. It requires feedback (反馈) and constant (不断的) challenges to yourself.
____18____ Teachers can find mistakes and make corrections. But they cannot be there for us every step of the way. So we must be able to provide our own feedback and learn from our own mistakes.
Constant challenges are very important for our growth. If you are a runner who can run 100 meters in 12 seconds, you can try to achieve the same success in 11 seconds or even 10 seconds. Even if you are already the best in the world at something, your goals to challenge yourself and do better should never disappear (消失). ____19____
“Professional” coconut openers can complete their tasks in five seconds. ____20____ The only difference between them is that professional openers make efforts to constantly improve themselves, while others are just continuing to “practice”.
A. But it is not the real reason.
B. Natural talent is the key to success.
C. Constant challenges are pretty easy.
D. There are others who take much longer.
E. They keep pushing you to improve.
F. Do you also record yourself and listen for mistakes?
G. Feedback commonly comes from teachers and ourselves.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文,主要围绕如何掌握快速开椰子这类技能展开,核心观点是通过“刻意练习”而非单纯长时间练习来提升技能。
【16题详解】
前文“Many people see it as a rule that says, “Just spend a lot of time practicing.”(许多人认为这是一条规则,“只要花很多时间练习就行了。”)”提到很多人认为掌握技能只需“花大量时间练习”,此处需要一个转折来引出更准确的方法。A选项“But it is not the real reason.(但这并不是真正的原因。)”起到了转折,暗示单纯花时间练习不是掌握技能的关键,从而引出后文强调的“刻意练习”,符合语境。故选A。
【17题详解】
前文“Imagine you want to become a professional violin player. You can already play some great pieces. Do you get better by only playing those same pieces over and over again? Or do you try to learn new songs?(想象一下,你想成为一名职业小提琴手。你已经会弹一些很棒的曲子了。你会因为反复演奏同样的曲子而变得更好吗?或者你试着学习新歌?)”以想成为专业小提琴手为例,提出通过反复弹奏相同曲目或尝试学习新歌曲哪种方式更能提升技能的问题,F选项“Do you also record yourself and listen for mistakes?(你也会把自己的声音录下来,听错误吗?)”也和提高小提琴方面的技能有关,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选F。
【18题详解】
空后“Teachers can find mistakes and make corrections. But they cannot be there for us every step of the way. So we must be able to provide our own feedback and learn from our own mistakes.(老师可以发现错误并改正。但他们不可能陪伴我们走好每一步。所以我们必须能够提供我们自己的反馈,并从我们自己的错误中学习。)”说明了老师和我们自己都可以提供反馈,G选项“Feedback commonly comes from teachers and ourselves.(反馈通常来自老师和我们自己。)”说明了反馈通常来自老师和我们自己,因此引起下文,符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
空前“Even if you are already the best in the world at something, your goals to challenge yourself and do better should never disappear (消失).(即使你在某件事上已经是世界上最好的了,你挑战自己、做得更好的目标也不应该消失。)”说明了目标不应该消失,空格处应该说目标的重要性,E选项“They keep pushing you to improve.(它们不断推动你进步。)”说明了目标会推动你进步,承接上文,符合语境,故选E。
【20题详解】
空前““Professional” coconut openers can complete their tasks in five seconds.(“专业”开椰子手可以在五秒钟内完成任务。)”说明了“专业”开椰子手可以在五秒钟内完成任务,空后“The only difference between them is that professional openers make efforts to constantly improve themselves, while others are just continuing to “practice”.(他们之间唯一的区别是,专业的开椰子的人在不断努力提高自己,而其他人只是在继续“练习”。)”说明了某两类人的区别是如何产生的,空格处应该提到开椰子不是很快的人,D选项“There are others who take much longer.(还有一些人需要更长的时间。)”说明了另一些人开椰子比较慢,承上启下,符合语境,故选D。

“It was the fishing line.”
Marty became ____27____. He looked a bit worried. Without all his ____28____, Marty’s hands shook slightly.
“So, are you going to tell other people?” he asked. I thought about it for a moment. If I did, I would ____29____ be able to prove that Marty’s magic was fake. But would that really make me feel happy? What about Marty? He might ____30____ his new friends. I doubted whether exposing (揭穿) him was the right ____31____. “I could ____32____ and keep quiet,” I thought.
“No,” I said. “It will be a ____33____ between you and me.”
Marty smiled ____34____ when I agreed to keep the secret, and I turned to walk away.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文通过引用爱因斯坦的话阐述了目标的重要性,分别从为生活提供焦点、培养良好习惯以及增强自信心等方面展开论述,强调目标需付诸行动,这样梦想才会实现,人们也有望过上幸福生活。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:目标在很多方面都很重要。way表示“方面”时是可数名词,many后接可数名词复数形式,way的复数是ways。故填ways。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:设定目标能让你在生活中有一个焦点。此处表示泛指“一个焦点”,focus以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:现在设定目标,你就是在决定未来想要实现什么。want to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“想要做某事”,所以此处用to achieve。故填to achieve。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:设定目标还有助于你养成良好的习惯。句子描述的是一般性事实,应用一般现在时。动名词短语Setting goals作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,help的第三人称单数是helps。故填helps。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些习惯会很有用。be动词后接形容词作表语,use的形容词形式是useful,意为“有用的”。故填useful。
【41题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:最后,设定目标会让你比以前更自信。根据句中的than可知,此处要用形容词的比较级,confident的比较级是more confident。故填more confident。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:当你实现一个目标时,你看到了自己努力的成果,也知道到目前为止你取得了多大的进步。根据时间状语so far可知,此处应用现在完成时,其结构为have/has +过去分词,主语是you,所以用have made。故填have made。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:目标是一个需要行动的梦想。分析句子结构,“____8____ needs action”是限制性定语从句,先行词是a dream,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that或which引导该定语从句。故填that / which。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:由于你的行动,你的梦想会成真,希望你会过上幸福的生活。as a result of为固定短语,意为“由于;因为”,所以此处填of。故填of。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:由于你的行动,你的梦想会成真,希望你会过上幸福的生活。此处修饰整个句子,应用副词形式,hopeful的副词是hopefully,意为“有希望地;希望”。故填hopefully。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last summer, I joined a two-week long art camp. At first, I was nervous as I didn’t know anyone there. Among the students, there was a girl named Maya. She was always surrounded by a group of friends, chatting and laughing loudly. I was too shy to approach her.
One day during a painting class, I was struggling with my brushwork. Maya happened to pass by and noticed my trouble. She pulled up a chair beside me and patiently showed me some painting techniques. Her kind smile and warm words made me feel at ease immediately. From then on, we became good friends. We spent every day at the camp together, sharing our dreams and secrets.
As the end of the art camp approached, everyone was busy preparing for the final exhibition. Maya and I decided to create a joint painting that combined our different styles. However, just two days before the exhibition, a huge argument broke out between us. We had different ideas about how to complete the painting and neither of us was willing to compromise (妥协). We ended up storming off in anger, leaving the half-finished painting on the painting stand.
That night, I lay in bed, tossing and turning (辗转反侧). I kept thinking about our friendship and how stupid our argument was. I realized that friendship was more important than winning an argument.
注意:
1.请根据以上内容续写故事,合理发展情节,注意情感描写和细节描写;
2.续写词数应为150左右;
3.请在答题卷相应的位置作答。

Paragraph 2:
Tears filled Maya’s eyes as she rushed towards me and gave me a big hug.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The next morning, I decided to apologize to Maya. With a pounding heart, I walked towards the studio where she was. When I opened the door, I saw Maya sitting in front of our unfinished painting, looking sad. Her eyes were red as if she had been crying. Seeing me, she stood up nervously. Before she could say anything, I blurted out, “Maya, I’m so sorry about yesterday. Our friendship means everything to me, and I don’t want a silly argument to ruin it.”
Paragraph 2:
Tears filled Maya’s eyes as she rushed towards me and gave me a big hug. “I’m sorry too,” she sobbed. “I was just being stubborn. Our friendship is far more precious than any painting.” We both laughed through our tears. Then, side by side, we sat down and started working on the painting again. This time, we listened to each other’s ideas, compromised, and added our unique touches. When the exhibition opened, our painting received high praise. But more importantly, our friendship became even stronger, and we knew that true friendship could overcome any obstacle.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者在参加艺术夏令营时与Maya从相识到成为好朋友,但因合作绘画产生分歧而争吵,最后作者意识到友谊的重要性并决定道歉的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写

Peter loves baseball. Last summer, he helped to coach a school baseball team. When he first watched the team of 12-year-olds play baseball, his first impressions (印象) were not really positive.
Some players often left as soon as they started losing Other players paid too much attention to all their mistakes during the game or preferred to dig up the grass when they weren’t in the play. A lot of boys threw their baseball bats when they lost the catch.
While their baseball skills improved over time with more practice, there were still problems. The team had a long way to go. For example, some boys were hard on those who made mistakes. Instead of being supportive or encouraging, they blamed (责怪) each other.
Peter started one-on-one talks with each player to discuss things that he had noticed. Some were about skills like holding the bat up higher or opening their eyes when they were making a catch. But most were about staying positive and supporting each other.
Things began to change slowly. The boys began to take the duties for their play instead of blaming others for mistakes. They stayed positive even when losing. The team culture was improving.
Players began encouraging each other, high-fiving and supporting teammates. Peter was especially pleased to see some of the boys taking leadership (领导) roles and having their own one-on-one talks with their teammates.
Peter didn’t think he made huge progress in teaching the boys how to throw, catch or hit better, but he was pleased that their conversations around the character led to something positive. Although the team still lost games, their character became stronger. Next season, their character will be tested again.
4. Which is one of the negative behaviors the players showed when Peter first watched them?
A. They gave up when they started losing.
B. They refused to practice baseball skills.
C. They paid no attention to their teammates.
D. They argued with the coach during games.
5. What was the main focus of Peter’s one-on-one talks with the players?
A. Improving baseball techniques.
B. Keeping a positive attitude.
C. Blaming players for their mistakes.
D. Making plans to win more games.
6. How did the players themselves help improve the team culture?
A. By studying other teams’ game videos.
B. By practicing baseball skills every night.
C. By encouraging and supporting each other.
D. By asking Peter to punish players who played poorly.
7. What can be the best title for the text?

C. Team Culture: Ending Teammate Blame
D. Player Growth: Taking Leadership Roles

How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split (分摊) the bill after a meal to calculating (计算) your household bills. But many dread the moment they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety (焦虑)” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone.
Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teens feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear complex (复杂的) classes. Shulamit Kahn, a Boston University expert, argues that positive role models — especially female teachers — are critical to building confidence in young learners.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about underperforming (表现不佳). And once we suppose we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.”
The seed of maths anxiety may come from many sources, but some experts suggest that expressing our fears can loosen their hold on us and we should encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
8. What doesn’t lead to students’ maths anxiety according to paragraph 2?
A. Personal character. B. Homework stress.
C. Complex classes. D. Nervous teachers.
9. What does the underlined word “bluffing” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Stopping to solve the problem.
B. Shouting to express maths anxiety.
C. Acting like you know the answer.
D. Copying answers from others secretly.
10. What can we do to reduce maths anxiety according to the experts?
A. Avoid difficult maths tests.
B. Voice our fears and try again.
C. Start with simple maths problems.
D. Forget it and move on to harder problems.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To prove maths is harder than geography.
B. To blame teachers for causing math anxiety.
C. To stress biological reasons for maths anxiety.
D. To explain maths anxiety and provide solutions.

The British are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK consumes (消耗) around 1.9kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. But tea does not grow in Britain. Most of the tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?
Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available in Britain to buy. However, it was only available to the richer of the society.
At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first, people drank this kind of tea exactly as it was drunk in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic.
In the early 1800s, tea was still a product enjoyed only by rich people. At this time, they began to have afternoon tea. This includes drinking tea with a snack around 4 p. m. to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.
In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased (降低) sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people.

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。
In a video, someone cuts open a coconut (椰子), pours its juice and takes away meat in about five seconds. What does it take to master a skill like that?
Many people see it as a rule that says, “Just spend a lot of time practicing.” ____16____ Many studies have shown that to improve our skills, we cannot just practice, but must use “deliberate (刻意的) practice”.
So what is deliberate practice? Imagine you want to become a professional violin player. You can already play some great pieces. Do you get better by only playing those same pieces over and over again? Or do you try to learn new songs? ____17____ “Deliberate practice” is different from “common practice”. It requires feedback (反馈) and constant (不断的) challenges to yourself.
____18____ Teachers can find mistakes and make corrections. But they cannot be there for us every step of the way. So we must be able to provide our own feedback and learn from our own mistakes.
Constant challenges are very important for our growth. If you are a runner who can run 100 meters in 12 seconds, you can try to achieve the same success in 11 seconds or even 10 seconds. Even if you are already the best in the world at something, your goals to challenge yourself and do better should never disappear (消失). ____19____
“Professional” coconut openers can complete their tasks in five seconds. ____20____ The only difference between them is that professional openers make efforts to constantly improve themselves, while others are just continuing to “practice”.
A. But it is not the real reason.
B. Natural talent is the key to success.
C. Constant challenges are pretty easy.
D. There are others who take much longer.
E. They keep pushing you to improve.
F. Do you also record yourself and listen for mistakes?
G. Feedback commonly comes from teachers and ourselves.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last summer, I joined a two-week long art camp. At first, I was nervous as I didn’t know anyone there. Among the students, there was a girl named Maya. She was always surrounded by a group of friends, chatting and laughing loudly. I was too shy to approach her.
One day during a painting class, I was struggling with my brushwork. Maya happened to pass by and noticed my trouble. She pulled up a chair beside me and patiently showed me some painting techniques. Her kind smile and warm words made me feel at ease immediately. From then on, we became good friends. We spent every day at the camp together, sharing our dreams and secrets.
As the end of the art camp approached, everyone was busy preparing for the final exhibition. Maya and I decided to create a joint painting that combined our different styles. However, just two days before the exhibition, a huge argument broke out between us. We had different ideas about how to complete the painting and neither of us was willing to compromise (妥协). We ended up storming off in anger, leaving the half-finished painting on the painting stand.
That night, I lay in bed, tossing and turning (辗转反侧). I kept thinking about our friendship and how stupid our argument was. I realized that friendship was more important than winning an argument.
