You can look at them, feed and play with some of them or just experience the fantastic 27-hectare bushland setting — an oasis (乐土) of wildlife among the Gold Coast bustle.(鳄鱼、袋鼠、考拉和几乎所有其他著名的澳大利亚本土动物都生活在库伦宾野生动物保护区。你可以看着它们，喂它们，和它们一起玩，或者只是体验一下这片27公顷的灌木丛——在黄金海岸的喧嚣中，这是一片野生动物的乐土。)”可知，在Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary可以与一些动物互动。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Admission is $36 for adults and $17 for kids and free for kids under 5.(成人票价36美元，儿童票价17美元，5岁以下儿童免费。)”可知，如果你和你11岁的双胞胎孩子一起去参观热带水果世界，你需要支付36+17×2=70美元。故选D。 When people think about surfing (冲浪) , they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding (趴板冲浪) where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is getting popularity because it is attractive to people of all ages. As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a strong sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these worries by providing expert direction and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social advantage that is especially key to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder (创办人) Kim Butfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women walked to her and curiously asked, “What about us? ” Butfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face, ” Scott said. Granny Grommets have encouraged other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone around the world. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 4. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C. The ages of the players. D. The position on the surfboard. 5. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do? A. Offer expert direction to advanced surfers. B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing. C. Help older people get over fears and keep active. D. Encourage social connections among young surfers. 6. What can be inferred about the older women from the question “What about us? ”? A. They wanted to learn surfing. B. They disliked surfing. C. They were afraid of surfing. D. They were experienced in surfing. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Being a Popular Surfer B. Getting Old People into the Surf C. Joining in Women’s Surfing Programs D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfing Event 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种适合老年人的冲浪方式——趴板冲浪，并通过granny Grommets的案例说明冲浪能帮助老年人克服恐惧，保持活力，同时形成社交社群。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. (另一种特殊的冲浪形式是趴板冲浪，它对膝盖更友好，冲浪者会趴在特制的趴板上冲浪。)”可知，趴板冲浪的特别之处在于冲浪者在板上的姿势（趴着）。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some surfing programs aim to fight these worries by providing expert direction and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. (一些冲浪项目旨在通过提供专业指导和培养社交感来消除这些担忧，同时为老年人带来健康益处。让老年人下水并保持活跃非常重要。)”可知，这些项目旨在帮助老年人克服恐惧、保持活跃。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The group began when founder Kim Butfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf, and some older women walked to her and curiously asked, “What about us? ” (该团体的成立源于创始人金・巴特菲尔德当时正在教一对母女冲浪，一些老年女性走向她，好奇地问：“那我们呢？”)”可知，老年女性看到别人学冲浪时询问“我们呢”，隐含想学习冲浪的意愿。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“When people think about surfing, they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is getting popularity because it is attractive to people of all ages.(人们想到冲浪时，脑海里常会浮现出年轻人站在冲浪板上乘风破浪的画面。趴板冲浪则是另一种特殊的冲浪形式，对膝盖更友好 —— 冲浪者会趴在一块特制的趴板上破浪前行。这项运动如今越来越受欢迎，因为它对各个年龄段的人都有吸引力。)”以及下文可知，文章开篇介绍趴板冲浪适合各年龄段，随后重点讲述针对老年人的冲浪项目，以澳大利亚“奶奶冲浪队”为例，说明老年人通过冲浪保持活跃、克服恐惧，甚至影响全球。核心是“让老年人参与冲浪”。故选B项。 Jason Haney is a construction worker from Indiana. When he began his current job as foreman on a site opposite a children’s hospital, this awesome dad and hobby artist had a brilliant idea. Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside, and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms. So together with his teenage daughter, Haney built a 2.5 meter tall plywood (胶合板) cut out of Waldo from the famous Where’s Waldo? books. Every day, the workers hide Waldo in a different spot on the construction site, giving the children a new challenge. As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo, the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again. Heidi Prescott, a spokeswoman for Beacon Health System, which runs the hospital, said the project began one winter when the workers put up an inflatable (可充气的) snowman for the children. The kids loved the idea and from there it quickly developed into the Waldo cutout. “It didn’t take long to catch on, the kids whether they are in the rooms or in a play area, they look across as soon as they get to the window,” Prescott told ABC News. “They will look all over the building, point and exclaim (惊叫) ‘I found him!’” Haney, meanwhile, simply enjoys knowing that he can brighten the children’s day and make them forget that they are in hospital for a few minutes. Jason has said over and over again, “All I did this for was to make the kids smile.” Haney even created a Facebook group where he leaves clues as to where Waldo might be hiding and the children can post photos of their findings. The project has been a huge success, with hundreds of people sharing photos of Waldo and happy parents thanking Haney for making an otherwise difficult visit to the hospital just that little bit more enjoyable. 8. Why did Jason Haney create the Waldo cutout? A. To bring joy to sick kids in the nearby hospital. B. To make his construction site more famous. C. To practice his hobby of art with his daughter. D. To attract more attention to the hospital’s work. 9. What can we learn about the Waldo game from paragraph 3? A. The kids need to find Waldo once a week. B. The game ends when all kids find Waldo. C. The game is kept going by moving Waldo regularly. D. The workers hide Waldo in the same place every day. 10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Parents think the Waldo project makes hospital stays easier for kids. B. Haney’s next project will be more successful than the Waldo one. C. The Facebook group is only used to share hints about Waldo’s location. D. Haney posted photos online to encourage the ill kids. 11. Which of the following words can best describe Jason Haney? A Selfless and humorous. B. Kind-hearted and creative. C. Shy and quiet. D. Considerate and serious. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述印第安纳州建筑工人杰森・哈尼为医院里无法外出的患病儿童打造“寻找沃尔多”游戏，通过移动沃尔多纸板、创建社交群组等方式为孩子带来欢乐的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside, and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms. So together with his teenage daughter, Haney built a 2.5 meter tall plywood (胶合板) cut out of Waldo from the famous Where’s Waldo? books.(哈尼注意到南本德纪念儿童医院的很多患病儿童无法外出，而他的建筑工地是孩子们从病房里唯一能看到的景象。于是，哈尼和他十几岁的女儿一起，用胶合板制作了一个 2.5 米高的“沃尔多”纸板剪影 —— 这个形象源自著名的《沃尔多在哪里？》系列书籍)”及第六段中“All I did this for was to make the kids smile.(我做这一切只是为了让孩子们笑)”可知，哈尼制作沃尔多纸板是为了给附近医院的患病儿童带来欢乐。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Every day, the workers hide Waldo in a different spot on the construction site, giving the children a new challenge. As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo, the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again.(每天，工人们把沃尔多藏在建筑工地的不同地方，给孩子们带来了新的挑战。一旦哈尼发现孩子们找到了沃尔多，纸板剪影就会被转移到一个新的秘密隐藏点，游戏又开始了)”可知，游戏通过定期移动沃尔多的位置持续进行。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The project has been a huge success, with hundreds of people sharing photos of Waldo and happy parents thanking Haney for making an otherwise difficult visit to the hospital just that little bit more enjoyable.(这个项目取得了巨大的成功，数百人分享了沃尔多的照片，开心的父母们感谢哈尼，因为他让原本艰难的医院陪护时光变得稍微愉快了)”可推断，家长认为沃尔多项目能让孩子们在住院期间更轻松地度过。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside, and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms.

As a result, the market is being flooded with new tools and new edtech companies, making it hard for school leaders and teachers to figure out which tools will actually work best in the classroom. “Only 11% of education decision makers were looking at any type of evidence to make a purchasing decision on an edtech tool,” said Isabelle Hau, executive director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, an organization that helps improve how well children and adults learn. “And only 7% of edtech tools around the world have any kind of strict, dependable evidence that they work.” Besides the lack of research on which tools help students get better grades in this fast-growing edtech field, making sure everyone can get these tools fairly is also challenging. “Many of these tools aren’t shared fairly. This has to do with who pays the money for them and how the money is provided,” Ms. Hau explained. “Around the world, there’s still a huge divide in how easy it is for people in different places to use digital tools (like computers and tablets).” Hau joins GSE Dean Dan Schwartz and Senior Lecturer Denise Pope as they discuss edtech’s rocketing growth, what’s driving that growth, and how school leaders, the government, and other organizations can help teachers get the tools that will best serve their students. “A lot of people are working on it, including us, of course, because we have a big role to play in improving learning outcomes for children and educators,” Hau said. She also shared tips and resources for businessmen looking to get into the edtech space. “You need to start small, and you need to start with a handful of partners that love your solution. And then from there you can expect to grow in size.” 12. What might be the school leaders’ concern about edtech tools? A. Originality. B. Effectiveness. C. Safety. D. Convenience. 13. What does the underlined part “a huge divide” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. The inequality in access to digital tools. B. The difference in the quality of edtech products. C. The gap in digital skills between teachers and students. D. The imbalance in educational development across regions. 14. What is Hau’s suggestion for businessmen interested in edtech? A. Dream big. B. Seek investment. C. Be practical. D. Be independent. 15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend edtech products and services. B. To complain about the poor quality of edtech tools. C. To provide detailed guidance on choosing edtech tools. D To expose the challenges in the fast-growing edtech field. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了教育科技行业发展迅速，但学校领导面临工具选择难题，且公平获取工具也具有挑战性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The education technology (edtech) industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with investment (投资) in this field increasing more than forty times over the last decade. As a result, the market is being flooded with new tools and new edtech companies, making it hard for school leaders and teachers to figure out which tools will actually work best in the classroom.(近年来，教育科技行业发展迅猛，过去十年间，该领域的投资增长了四十多倍。因此，市场上充斥着各种新工具和新成立的教育科技公司，这使得学校领导者和教师难以判断哪些工具在课堂上能真正发挥最佳效果。)”可知，学校领导和教师很难弄清楚哪些工具在课堂上最有效，即他们担心教育科技工具的有效性。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中““Many of these tools aren’t shared fairly. This has to do with who pays the money for them and how the money is provided,” Ms. Hau explained. “Around the world, there’s still a huge divide in how easy it is for people in different places to use digital tools (like computers and tablets).”(Hau女士解释道：“许多工具并没有得到公平共享。这关系到谁来为这些工具买单，以及资金是如何提供的。”“在全球范围内，不同地区的人们使用数字工具（如电脑和平板电脑）的便利程度仍存在a huge divide。”)”可知，此处指世界各地的人们使用数字工具的难易程度存在巨大差距，即数字工具获取的不平等性，a huge divide的意思是“数字工具获取的不平等性”。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She also shared tips and resources for businessmen looking to get into the edtech space. “You need to start small, and you need to start with a handful of partners that love your solution. And then from there you can expect to grow in size.”(她还为有意进入教育科技领域的商人分享了建议和资源。“你需要从小处着手，你需要从一些喜欢你的解决方案的合作伙伴开始。然后从那里你可以期待规模的增长。”)”可知，Hau建议有意进入教育科技领域的商人要从小处着手，务实一些。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As a result, the market is being flooded with new tools and new edtech companies, making it hard for school leaders and teachers to figure out which tools will actually work best in the classroom.(因此，市场上充斥着各种新工具和新成立的教育科技公司，这使得学校领导者和教师难以判断哪些工具在课堂上能真正发挥最佳效果。)”以及第三段中“Besides the lack of research on which tools help students get better grades in this fast-growing edtech field, making sure everyone can get these tools fairly is also challenging.(除了在这个快速增长的教育科技领域缺乏关于哪些工具能帮助学生取得更好成绩的研究之外，确保每个人都能公平地获得这些工具也是一个挑战。)”可知，文章主要介绍了教育科技行业快速发展带来的挑战，包括学校领导和教师难以选择有效的工具，以及确保公平获取这些工具的挑战。作者的目的是揭示快速增长的教育技术领域的挑战。故选D。 Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you’re studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history important” is a good start. Exploring the answers to this question can open windows to worlds you never knew existed. ___16___ You will find something here that will get you interested, or get you thinking about its significance. ___17___ History is an important and interesting field of study and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper glimpse into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots can provide. History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living a long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. ___18___ History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. ___19___ Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知). History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us. History can inspire us to learn more. ___20___ It’s almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of related questions. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere for anybody. A. History grounds us in our roots. B. It stimulates a curiosity that pulls us deeper into the past. C. History is an essential part of human civilization. D. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. E.

Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots can provide.(历史是一个十分重要且饶有趣味的研究领域，了解我们祖国的历史能够让我们更深入地洞察我们的祖先过往以及我们如今所处的状况。许多人觉得他们需要一种文化归属感，而研究自己的根源正是能够提供这种感受的方式)”可知，该段反复强调“祖国历史”、“祖先过去”、“根源”、“文化归属感”，核心是“历史与个人/文化根源的关联”。A选项“历史能让我们扎根于自己的根源”，是整个段落的“总起句”，后续内容均围绕“根源” 展开（如祖先过去、文化归属感），逻辑完全匹配。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same.(历史丰富了我们的阅历。阅读历史是一种奇妙的体验，因为它让我们能够思考很久以前人们的社会和经济生活。据专家们说，无论过去还是现在，人们所面临的问题都是相同的)”可知，上一句提到“过去和现在的人面临的问题相同”，隐含“可从过去学习应对问题的方法”的逻辑。G选项“借鉴祖先的智慧能让我们更好地应对生活中的挑战”，承接“问题相同”，明确“从过去（祖先智慧）学方法”，填补了逻辑空缺。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now.(历史让我们更具同理心。研究历史能够让我们深入了解我们的文化为何会有某些行为，以及过去是如何塑造了如今的我们所认知的这个文化的)”可知，该段核心是“历史提升共情能力”，且下一句提到“打破隔阂、了解陌生世界”，隐含“跨文化”的语境。F选项“它还为跨文化共情奠定了坚实的基础”，既承接前文“提升共情”，又通过“跨文化”衔接后文“打破隔阂”，形成逻辑递进。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“History can inspire us to learn more.(历史能够激励我们去获取更多的知识)”以及后文“ It’s almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of related questions. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens’  Oliver Twist . Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere for anybody.(如果没有几十个相关的问题，几乎不可能了解一个历史时期。研究19世纪的英国，你可能会瞥见查尔斯·狄更斯的《雾都孤儿》。或者你最终会把注意力从小说上移开，去发现英国浪漫主义诗人的历史。它可以为任何人去任何地方。)”可知，后文的例子表明，人们通过小说去发现英国浪漫主义诗人的历史。即历史可以开阔我们的视野，让我们了解更多。故D选项“历史的奇妙之处在于它开阔了我们的视野”符合语境，故选D。 二、完形填空（每小题1分，共15小题，共15分） Mr. Jackson is an Australian farmer.

Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work. I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain. One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them. But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛)? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful. Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race. 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。 Then came the long-awaited sports day. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The victory was a turning point in my junior life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then came the long-awaited sports day. My palms were sweaty as I stood at the final position of the track. When the third runner approached, I grabbed the baton firmly and sprinted like the wind. Cheers erupted as I overtook two opponents. Crossing the finish line first, I saw my teammates rushing towards me with joyful screams. To my surprise, classmates patted my shoulder excitedly, their eyes shining with admiration instead of judgment. Kim hugged me, “You’re our superhero!” No one mentioned my acne — they only remembered my flying figure on the track. The victory was a turning point in my junior life. Gradually I realized people valued my abilities more than my appearance. I started raising my hand in class again and joined the school basketball team. Though acne still occasionally troubled me, I stopped hiding behind my hair. When a new student once asked about my skin, Kim immediately defended, “That’s just his warrior paint from saving our relay race!” We all laughed, and I finally understood true friendship sees beyond surfaces. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者进入七年级后因长青春痘而自卑，担心同学嘲笑，成绩下滑，在运动会接力赛报名时，Kim邀请作者加入，作者最终和队友们一起训练并在比赛中获胜的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“终于到了期待已久的运动会了”可知，第一段可描写作者在运动会接力赛上的表现，以及获胜后同学们的反应，突出大家对作者能力的认可，而非关注其青春痘。 ②由第二段首句内容“这次胜利是我初中生活的一个转折点”可知，第二段可描写这次胜利对作者的影响，作者开始积极融入集体，不再因青春痘而自卑，明白了真正的友谊是超越外表的。 2.续写线索：运动会开始——努力比赛——同学欣赏——作者感悟——明白友谊真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab/seize ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③举手：raise one’s hand/put up one’s hand 情绪类 ①激动地：excitedly/with excitement ②欣赏：admiration/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型2】My palms were sweaty as I stood at the final position of the track.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Gradually I realized people valued my abilities more than my appearance.

When people think about surfing (冲浪) , they imagine a young person riding the waves standing on a surfboard. Another special form of surfing, which is easier on your knees, is bodyboarding (趴板冲浪) where the surfer rides a specially designed bodyboard lying on the stomach. This sport is getting popularity because it is attractive to people of all ages. As people age, it’s common to lose confidence and develop a strong sense of fear when beginning physical activities, especially those like surfing. Some surfing programs aim to fight these worries by providing expert direction and developing a sense of social connection while offering health benefits to seniors. But they’re about more than just exercise. There’s a social advantage that is especially key to seniors. It’s really important to get older people in the water and get them active. A group of women in Western Australia take to the surf every week. These women who are called Granny Grommets have been riding waves in Albany for 25 years. The group began when founder (创办人) Kim Butfield was teaching a mom and daughter to surf and some older women walked to her and curiously asked, “What about us? ” Butfield decided to teach these women bodyboarding because it is easier on aging knees than standing on a surfboard. She said that there are only two requirements for joining: a positive attitude and members that have to be at least 50 years old. There are now more than 100 women in the group including Glenn Scott who became a member when she was 80. “All you need for a Granny Grommet is a bodyboard and a laugh across your face, ” Scott said. Granny Grommets have encouraged other senior surfing groups around Australia and even have gone around the world. There are groups in South Africa and even as far north as France. This shows that all you need is surf, a board, and determination to ride the waves at any age. 4. What makes bodyboarding special? A. Its speed of surfing. B. Its competition rules. C. The ages of the players. D. The position on the surfboard. 5. What do the surfing programs mentioned in paragraph 2 aim to do? A. Offer expert direction to advanced surfers. B. Tell the youth about health benefits of surfing. C. Help older people get over fears and keep active. D. Encourage social connections among young surfers. 6. What can be inferred about the older women from the question “What about us? ”? A. They wanted to learn surfing. B. They disliked surfing. C. They were afraid of surfing. D. They were experienced in surfing. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Being a Popular Surfer B. Getting Old People into the Surf C. Joining in Women’s Surfing Programs D. Pushing Seniors to Attend a Global Surfing Event Jason Haney is a construction worker from Indiana. When he began his current job as foreman on a site opposite a children’s hospital, this awesome dad and hobby artist had a brilliant idea. Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside, and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms. So together with his teenage daughter, Haney built a 2.5 meter tall plywood (胶合板) cut out of Waldo from the famous Where’s Waldo? books. Every day, the workers hide Waldo in a different spot on the construction site, giving the children a new challenge. As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo, the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again. Heidi Prescott, a spokeswoman for Beacon Health System, which runs the hospital, said the project began one winter when the workers put up an inflatable (可充气的) snowman for the children. The kids loved the idea and from there it quickly developed into the Waldo cutout. “It didn’t take long to catch on, the kids whether they are in the rooms or in a play area, they look across as soon as they get to the window,” Prescott told ABC News. “They will look all over the building, point and exclaim (惊叫) ‘I found him!’” Haney, meanwhile, simply enjoys knowing that he can brighten the children’s day and make them forget that they are in hospital for a few minutes. Jason has said over and over again, “All I did this for was to make the kids smile.” Haney even created a Facebook group where he leaves clues as to where Waldo might be hiding and the children can post photos of their findings. The project has been a huge success, with hundreds of people sharing photos of Waldo and happy parents thanking Haney for making an otherwise difficult visit to the hospital just that little bit more enjoyable. 8. Why did Jason Haney create the Waldo cutout? A. To bring joy to sick kids in the nearby hospital. B. To make his construction site more famous. C. To practice his hobby of art with his daughter. D. To attract more attention to the hospital’s work. 9 What can we learn about the Waldo game from paragraph 3? A. The kids need to find Waldo once a week. B. The game ends when all kids find Waldo. C. The game is kept going by moving Waldo regularly. D. The workers hide Waldo in the same place every day. 10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Parents think the Waldo project makes hospital stays easier for kids. B. Haney’s next project will be more successful than the Waldo one. C. The Facebook group is only used to share hints about Waldo’s location. D. Haney posted photos online to encourage the ill kids. 11. Which of the following words can best describe Jason Haney? A. Selfless and humorous. B. Kind-hearted and creative. C. Shy and quiet. D. Considerate and serious. The education technology (edtech) industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with investment (投资) in this field increasing more than forty times over the last decade. As a result, the market is being flooded with new tools and new edtech companies, making it hard for school leaders and teachers to figure out which tools will actually work best in the classroom. “Only 11% of education decision makers were looking at any type of evidence to make a purchasing decision on an edtech tool,” said Isabelle Hau, executive director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, an organization that helps improve how well children and adults learn. “And only 7% of edtech tools around the world have any kind of strict, dependable evidence that they work.” Besides the lack of research on which tools help students get better grades in this fast-growing edtech field, making sure everyone can get these tools fairly is also challenging. “Many of these tools aren’t shared fairly. This has to do with who pays the money for them and how the money is provided,” Ms. Hau explained. “Around the world, there’s still a huge divide in how easy it is for people in different places to use digital tools (like computers and tablets).” Hau joins GSE Dean Dan Schwartz and Senior Lecturer Denise Pope as they discuss edtech’s rocketing growth, what’s driving that growth, and how school leaders, the government, and other organizations can help teachers get the tools that will best serve their students. “A lot of people are working on it, including us, of course, because we have a big role to play in improving learning outcomes for children and educators,” Hau said. She also shared tips and resources for businessmen looking to get into the edtech space. “You need to start small, and you need to start with a handful of partners that love your solution. And then from there you can expect to grow in size.” 12. What might be the school leaders’ concern about edtech tools? A. Originality. B. Effectiveness. C. Safety. D. Convenience. 13. What does the underlined part “a huge divide” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. The inequality in access to digital tools. B. The difference in the quality of edtech products. C. The gap in digital skills between teachers and students. D. The imbalance in educational development across regions. 14. What is Hau’s suggestion for businessmen interested in edtech? A. Dream big. B. Seek investment. C. Be practical. D. Be independent. 15 What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A To recommend edtech products and services. B. To complain about the poor quality of edtech tools. C. To provide detailed guidance on choosing edtech tools. D. To expose the challenges in the fast-growing edtech field.

Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work. I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain. One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them. But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛)? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful. Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race. 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。 Then came the long-awaited sports day. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The victory was a turning point in my junior life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
