In the Pacific Northwest during winter, 5:15 a.m. might be the dead of night. The alarm goes off and the only light is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers.
If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work.
Then, last fall I reconnected with an old friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape.
The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 a.m. and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss.
While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing.
4. What can we know about the author from paragraph 1?
A. 5:15 a.m. is the best time for her to exercise.
B. She prefers to run alone without any company.
C. She goes for a run despite the cold and early rise.
D. She always takes the run with many warm clothes on.
5. What was the author’s attitude to morning running a year ago?
A. Unfavorable. B. Scared. C. Confused. D. Supportive.
6. What made the author begin to run in the morning?
A. Her partner’s encouragement. B. Her friend’s suggestion.
C. Realizing the harm of being fat. D. Realizing the benefits of running.
7. What effect does morning running have on the author?
A. She has become slim again. B. She has become more energetic.
C. She has become more confident. D. She has become more imaginative.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the Pacific Northwest during winter, 5:15 am might as well be the dead of night.(在太平洋西北地区的冬天,早上5点15分可能是深夜)”以及“I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers. (我知道我的跑步搭档会在街上等我,我不会放她鸽子的。 然后我走到路上,抱怨着天气太冷了,希望能回到温暖的被窝里)”可知,作者不顾寒冷,早起去跑步。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work. (如果你一年前问我,我能不能想象自己在一个冬天的早晨5:15跑步的样子,我会笑的。 早上不是我所喜欢的,我甚至没有考虑过早上跑步。“我更喜欢在上午或下午锻炼,”我会对上班前去健身房的朋友们说)”可推知,作者一年前对晨跑的态度是不支持。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Then, last fall I reconnected with an old neighborhood friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds that year. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape. (去年秋天,我与一位老街坊朋友重新取得了联系。她早上跑步,那年瘦了40磅。当我照镜子时,我知道我可以从同样的减肥中获益。我问能不能和她一起去。我知道,如果我想恢复身材,我需要改变一些事情)”可知,认识到跑步的好处让作者开始在早上跑步。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. (虽然我还没有减掉40磅,但令人惊讶的是我有了更多的能量,我感觉自己更有劲了)”可知,晨跑让作者变得更有活力。故选B。

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), eight million tons of plastic waste is being poured out into the oceans every year. That’s the equivalent (相等物) of an entire garbage truck being dumped every three minutes, and the source of the problem — the world’s cities. In Amsterdam, a simple solution has been found that could stop up to 86 percent of plastic waste ever reaching the oceans — a barrier made of bubbles (气泡).
The way the bubble barrier system works is basically that it is a tube placed diagonally (沿对角线地) on the bottom of the waterway. “The tube has a lot of tiny holes,” according to Phillip Ehrhorn, Chief Technology Officer in the Great Bubble Barrier. “We pump air through it, and the air bubbles will rise towards the surface. The plastics are brought to the surface with the air bubbles and then: with the natural flow of the river, towards one side of the river. Then the other part of the bubble barrier system collects and removes the waste.”
“Ship traffic is a key economic driver; we won’t be able to stop that. So, we would have to find a solution which would not affect all the other existing activities and the ecosystem,” Phillip added. The bubble barrier does exactly that. While it provides no block to water traffic and sea life can pass through freely, it also catches plastic waste of all sizes.
The Great Bubble Barrier is trying to work together with Amsterdam and local Non- governmental Organizations (NGOs) to evaluate what the bubble barrier system is catching so as to carry out new policies and additional measures on land. In this way, plastics entering the water could be reduced in the first place. “Our next step is a bubble barrier within Europe and we, of course, want to move to Asia because we think we can make a lot of influence there,” said Francis Zoet, the founder of the Great Bubble Barrier.
8. What contributes to the invention of the bubble barrier?
A. Suggestions from the WEF. B. Construction of the waterway.
C. Large amounts of sea waste. D. Requests from the government.
9. What is the function of the air bubbles?
A. Creating tiny holes on the tube. B. Sending plastics to the surface.
C. Removing the waste in the water. D. Changing the speed of the river flow.
10. What does the underlined word “block” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Approach. B. Foundation. C. Brick. D. Obstacle.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Plastics entering the water will increase.
B. The bubble barrier will benefit more places.
C. The NGOs will move to Europe and Asia.
D The city will evaluate the bubble barrier.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在阿姆斯特丹,人们利用气泡屏障系统帮助阻止塑料垃圾流入海洋。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), eight million tons of plastic waste is being poured out into the oceans every year. That’s the equivalent (相等物) of an entire garbage truck being dumped every three minutes, and the source of the problem — the world’s cities. In Amsterdam, a simple solution has been found that could stop up to 86 percent of plastic waste ever reaching the oceans — a barrier made of bubbles (气泡).(根据世界经济论坛(WEF)的数据, 每年有 800万吨塑料垃圾被倒入海洋。这相当于每三分钟就有一辆垃圾车被倾倒,而问题的根源是世界上的城市。在阿姆斯特丹,人们找到了一个简单的解决办法,这个办法可以阻止多达86%的塑料垃圾流入海洋,那就是用气泡做成的屏障)”可知,大量的海洋垃圾促成了气泡屏障的发明。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We pump air through it, and the air bubbles will rise towards the surface. The plastics are brought to the surface with the air bubbles and then, with the natural flow of the river, towards one side of the river.(我们把空气抽进去,气泡就会上升到表面。塑料和气泡一起被带到水面,然后随着河流的自然流动,流向河的一侧)”可知,气泡的作用是把塑料送到水的表面。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词前句“So, we would have to find a solution which would not affect all the other existing activities and the ecosystem,(所以,我们必须找到一个不会影响所有其他现有活动和生态系统的解决方案)”和后句“While it provides no block to water traffic and sea life can pass through freely, it also catches plastic waste of all sizes.(虽然它不会给水上交通提供block,海洋生物可以自由通行,但它也可以捕获各种大小的塑料垃圾)”可知,气泡屏障不会影响到水上的船舶交通。所以block意为“obstacle (障碍)”。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Our next step is a bubble barrier within Europe and we, of course, want to move to Asia because we think we can make a lot of influence there.(我们的下一步是在欧洲建立一个泡沫屏障,当然,我们希望转移到亚洲,因为我们认为我们可以在那里产生很大的影响)”可推断,气泡屏障创始人Francis Zoet希望泡沫屏障将使更多的地方受益。故选B。
D
What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while tackling a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize (共情) with the scientists during their own struggles.
12. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science. B. They don’t possess inborn talent.
C. They are short of confidence. D. They have no ability to study science.
13. What’s the purpose of the intervention?
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
14. The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. soft B. lasting C. doubtful D. obvious
15. What can we learn from the research?
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究人员通过让学生阅读科学家的奋斗故事,改变学生对科学成就的认知,以提升其学习动力与成绩的相关研究。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.(许多学生难以将自己想象成科学家,他们提出的担忧包括“我不擅长科学”以及“即使我努力了,也做不好。”他们很容易认为科学家的工作源于天生的才能)”可知,学生因不自信,觉得自己不擅长科学或努力也无用,且认为科学工作需天赋,所以无法将自己想象为科学家。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.(哥伦比亚大学师范学院和华盛顿大学的研究人员设计了一项干预措施,通过让学生了解杰出科学家在科研过程中如何奋斗并克服挑战的故事,来改变学生认为科学成就反映的是能力而非努力的观念)”可知,干预措施的目的是纠正学生认为科学成就靠能力而非努力的误解,即消除学生对科学工作的错误认知。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. (研究人员发现,与对照组学生相比,听过任意一种“奋斗故事”的学生在干预后科学成绩都有所提高。这种效果在成绩较差的学生中尤其pronounced,对他们来说,与阅读成绩故事的成绩较差的学生相比,阅读奋斗故事的学生在科学课上的表现明显更好)”可知,成绩差的学生受奋斗故事影响,成绩提升更显著。由此推知,划线词pronounced意为“明显的”,与“obvious”意思相近。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group.(研究人员发现,与对照组的学生相比,听过任何一种“奋斗故事”的学生在干预后,其科学课程成绩都有所提高)”以及“By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize (共情) with the scientists during their own struggles.(通过了解科学家所经历的奋斗历程,并认识到他们在完成伟大事业时所秉持的成长型思维模式,学生们能够在自己面对困难时,对科学家们的奋斗产生共情)”可知,听到科学家奋斗故事的学生在干预后科学成绩有提高,并且学生能够通过了解科学家的奋斗过程产生共情。由此推知,科学家的奋斗故事可以影响读者的观念。故选C项。

【答案】参考范文:
Dear David,
I’m writing to share with you a popular Chinese movie I saw during this Spring Festival. I had the pleasure of watching a fantastic cartoon titled “Nezha 2”.
It is a visual and emotional feast, integrating a traditional Chinese story with modern technology. So realistic and abundant are its pictures and colors that I felt like being right among the characters. Its plot is full of twists and turns, keeping me glued to the screen the whole time.
What truly strikes me is how Nezha discovers himself, overcomes countless challenges and takes control of his fate, identifying with audiences beyond cultural boundaries. It shows how Chinese cartoons can tell a story which anyone can understand and appreciate. I consider it both entertaining and instructive. Why not watch it and tell me what you think!
Yours,

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

【答案】When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.

In the Pacific Northwest during winter, 5:15 a.m. might be the dead of night. The alarm goes off and the only light is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers.
If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work.
Then, last fall I reconnected with an old friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape.
The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 a.m. and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss.
While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing.
4. What can we know about the author from paragraph 1?
A. 5:15 a.m. is the best time for her to exercise.
B. She prefers to run alone without any company.
C. She goes for a run despite the cold and early rise.
D. She always takes the run with many warm clothes on.
5. What was the author’s attitude to morning running a year ago?
A. Unfavorable. B. Scared. C. Confused. D. Supportive.
6. What made the author begin to run in the morning?
A. Her partner’s encouragement. B. Her friend’s suggestion.
C Realizing the harm of being fat. D. Realizing the benefits of running.
7. What effect does morning running have on the author?
A. She has become slim again. B. She has become more energetic.
C. She has become more confident. D. She has become more imaginative.
C
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), eight million tons of plastic waste is being poured out into the oceans every year. That’s the equivalent (相等物) of an entire garbage truck being dumped every three minutes, and the source of the problem — the world’s cities. In Amsterdam, a simple solution has been found that could stop up to 86 percent of plastic waste ever reaching the oceans — a barrier made of bubbles (气泡).
The way the bubble barrier system works is basically that it is a tube placed diagonally (沿对角线地) on the bottom of the waterway. “The tube has a lot of tiny holes” according to Phillip Ehrhorn, Chief Technology Officer in the Great Bubble Barrier. “We pump air through it, and the air bubbles will rise towards the surface. The plastics are brought to the surface with the air bubbles and then: with the natural flow of the river, towards one side of the river. Then the other part of the bubble barrier system collects and removes the waste.”
“Ship traffic is a key economic driver; we won’t be able to stop that. So we would have to find a solution which would not affect all the other existing activities and the ecosystem,” Phillip added. The bubble barrier does exactly that. While it provides no block to water traffic and sea life can pass through freely, it also catches plastic waste of all sizes.
The Great Bubble Barrier is trying to work together with Amsterdam and local Non- governmental Organizations (NGOs) to evaluate what the bubble barrier system is catching so as to carry out new policies and additional measures on land. In this way, plastics entering the water could be reduced in the first place. “Our next step is a bubble barrier within Europe and we, of course, want to move to Asia because we think we can make a lot of influence there,” said Francis Zoet, the founder of the Great Bubble Barrier.
8. What contributes to the invention of the bubble barrier?
A. Suggestions from the WEF. B. Construction of the waterway.
C. Large amounts of sea waste. D. Requests from the government.
9. What is the function of the air bubbles?
A. Creating tiny holes on the tube. B. Sending plastics to the surface.
C. Removing the waste in the water. D. Changing the speed of the river flow.
10. What does the underlined word “block” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Approach. B. Foundation. C. Brick. D. Obstacle.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Plastics entering the water will increase.
B. The bubble barrier will benefit more places.

What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while tackling a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize (共情) with the scientists during their own struggles.
12. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science. B. They don’t possess inborn talent.
C. They are short of confidence. D. They have no ability to study science.
13. What’s the purpose of the intervention?
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
14. The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. soft B. lasting C. doubtful D. obvious
15. What can we learn from the research?
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
