However, new research from the University of Washington suggests that this is not necessarily the case. The study led by researcher Chantel Prat indicates that being a strong language learner proved to be a much better predictor of a person’s ability to learn programming than having basic math knowledge. For the new study on coding (编程), Prat wanted to explore what makes someone good at learning a skill that involves working with symbols, like programming. Prat points out that a huge number of jobs now require coding skills, and their importance keeps growing. In the experiment, Prat’s team brought in 36 adults with no past coding experience. Participants first took a series of tests, including one for modern language talent, which measures natural talent for learning languages. They were also tested on general cognitive (认知) abilities like problem-solving and working memory, as well as their numeracy. Next, each participant attended ten 45-minute sessions to learn the programming language Python through an online learning platform. After the course, the researchers measured how well each person had learned. They looked at how far participants had progressed in the lessons, their scores on a multiple-choice test about the code’s rules, and their performance in a practical exercise where they had to write a simple program for a rock, paper, scissors game. The results were striking. Among all the things considered, the language talent test was the single strongest predictor of how quickly and effectively someone learned to code in Python. In fact, when the researchers analyzed what led to the differences in learning speed, language talent explained a very large portion (43%), while numeracy explained only a tiny part (6%). “This is the first study that directly compares math against communication abilities for learning this kind of symbolic skill, and it showed that language was a much stronger predictor,” Prat said. She believes this finding is crucial for breaking down the narrow stereotypes (刻板印象) of what a good programmer looks like. Ultimately, she hopes this understanding will not only help identify who might be good at coding but also lead to teaching methods that can match different brain styles, making it possible for almost everyone to learn this important 21st-century skill. 28. What can be learned about coding skills from the passage? A. Past experience plays a key role in learning coding skills. B. Coding skills are becoming increasingly important today. C. Problem-solving abilities help develop coding skills. D. Math ability is the main thing for coding skills. 29. Why does the author write the last paragraph? A. To issue a call to action. B. To explain the weak points of the study. C. To compare the methods used in the study. D. To highlight the significance of the finding. 30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Coding: The Most Important 21st-Century Skill B. Coding: A Key Skill Supported by New Research C. Learning to Code: General Cognitive Skills Hold the Key D. Learning to Code: Language Skills Matter More Than Math 【答案】28 B 29. D 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。通过介绍华盛顿大学的研究，客观说明“语言学习能力比数学基础更能预测编程能力”这一科学发现。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Prat points out that a huge number of jobs now require coding skills, and their importance keeps growing.(Prat指出，现在有大量的工作需要编码技能，而且其重要性在不断增加)”可知，如今编程技能变得越来越重要。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is the first study that directly compares math against communication abilities for learning this kind of symbolic skill, and it showed that language was a much stronger predictor,” Prat said. She believes this finding is crucial for breaking down the narrow stereotypes (刻板印象) of what a good programmer looks like. Ultimately, she hopes this understanding will not only help identify who might be good at coding but also lead to teaching methods that can match different brain styles, making it possible for almost everyone to learn this important 21st-century skill.(Prat说：“这是第一个直接比较数学和学习这种符号技能的沟通能力的研究，结果表明语言是一个更强的预测因素。”她认为，这一发现对于打破人们对优秀程序员的刻板印象至关重要。最终，她希望这种理解不仅有助于确定谁可能擅长编码，而且还能找到适合不同大脑类型的教学方法，使几乎每个人都能学习这项21世纪重要的技能)”可知，本段总结了研究的重要意义，指出语言能力比数学能力更能预测编程学习效果，所以作者写本段的目的是强调这一发现的重要性。故选D项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It is a common assumption that to be a computer programmer you need to be very good at math. However, new research from the University of Washington suggests that this is not necessarily the case. The study led by researcher Chantel Prat indicates that being a strong language learner proved to be a much better predictor of a person’s ability to learn programming than having basic math knowledge.(人们普遍认为，要成为一名计算机程序员，你需要非常擅长数学。然而，华盛顿大学的一项新研究表明，情况并非如此。由研究人员Chantel Prat领导的这项研究表明，与拥有基本的数学知识相比，学习语言能力强的人更能预测一个人学习编程的能力)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了语言学习能力比数学基础更能预测编程学习效果，所以D项“Learning to Code: Language Skills Matter More Than Math(学习编程：语言技能比数学更重要)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 D The fear that language is in decline (衰退) is like the story of the boy who cried wolf, with one key difference: the wolf never appears. For a very long time, people have worried that language standards are falling, yet this feared breakdown in communication has never actually happened. Language has always been and will remain a useful tool for communication. Those who warn about the decline of language often do not know its history. Their worries are usually not about a real decline, but are simply statements of personal preference for the way of speaking they are used to. The idea that language will get worse to the point where we can only communicate with simple sounds is unfounded. The clearest evidence for this is that people have been making the same warnings for hundreds of years. Many famous writers throughout history have moaned about falling standards. Yet, the very same periods produced some of the greatest works in English literature. And anxiety about standards is not unique to English. Speakers of every language in the world have, at some point, sighed for its future. The truth is that English, like all other languages, keeps changing. The feeling of decline is a false idea created by the speed of this change within our own short lifetimes. Because change often happens between generations, older speakers see the rules they grew up with being replaced by new ones. This can cause cognitive discomfort, which then turns into negative comments. We naturally look for intellectual reasons to explain our personal preferences. If we could live for centuries, we would see the bigger picture. Language change is not simply a sign of carelessness. It happens at all levels, from vocabulary to grammar. Over centuries, a language can be changed so much that it becomes unrecognizable. However, like a complex (复杂的) natural system, language often maintains a balance. Simplification in one area can lead to greater complexity in another. What stays the same is the main expressive power of the language. You can always say what needs to be said. 31. As for language decline, the author is ______. A. disapproving B. supportive C. confused D. indifferent 32. What does the phrase “moaned about” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Expressed dissatisfaction with. B. Showed curiosity about. C. Carefully thought about. D. Paid no attention to. 33. It is implied in this passage that we should ______. A. accept personal differences in language B. stop worrying about language decline C. avoid using simplified language D. protect language from decline 34. What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Address a problem. B. Make a comparison. C. Argue against a view. D. Present facts and information. 【答案】31. A 32. A 33. B 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要反驳“语言衰退”这一观点。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The fear that language is in decline (衰退) is like the story of the boy who cried wolf, with one key difference: the wolf never appears. For a very long time, people have worried that language standards are falling, yet this feared breakdown in communication has never actually happened.(对语言衰落的恐惧就像那个喊狼来了的男孩的故事，但有一个关键的区别：狼从来没有出现过。很长一段时间以来，人们一直担心语言水平正在下降，然而这种令人担忧的沟通障碍从未真正发生过)”可知，作者认为语言衰退从未真正发生过，所以对“语言衰退论”持反对态度。故选A项。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Yet, the very same periods produced some of the greatest works in English literature. And anxiety about standards is not unique to English. Speakers of every language in the world have, at some point, sighed for its future.(然而，就在同一时期，英国文学中出现了一些最伟大的作品。对标准的焦虑并不是英语独有的。世界上每一种语言的使用者都在某个时刻为其未来叹息)”可知，许多人都有对标准下降的焦虑，也就是不满意之意，推知moaned about应是“不满”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The truth is that English, like all other languages, keeps changing. The feeling of decline is a false idea created by the speed of this change within our own short lifetimes.(事实上，英语和所有其他语言一样，都在不断变化。衰落的感觉是一种错误的想法，是在我们短暂的一生中这种变化的速度所造成的)”以及最后一段“If we could live for centuries, we would see the bigger picture. Language change is not simply a sign of carelessness. It happens at all levels, from vocabulary to grammar. Over centuries, a language can be changed so much that it becomes unrecognizable. However, like a complex (复杂的) natural system, language often maintains a balance. Simplification in one area can lead to greater complexity in another. What stays the same is the main expressive power of the language. You can always say what needs to be said.(如果我们能活上几个世纪，我们就能看到更大的图景。语言的改变不仅仅是粗心大意的表现。它发生在各个层面，从词汇到语法。经过数个世纪的演变，一种语言可能会发生很大的变化，以至于变得无法辨认。然而，就像一个复杂的自然系统一样，语言往往保持着一种平衡。一个领域的简化可能导致另一个领域的更大复杂性。保持不变的是语言的主要表现力。该说什么就说什么)”可知，这篇文章暗示我们应该停止担心语言的衰退。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The fear that language is in decline (衰退) is like the story of the boy who cried wolf, with one key difference: the wolf never appears. For a very long time, people have worried that language standards are falling, yet this feared breakdown in communication has never actually happened.(对语言衰落的恐惧就像那个喊狼来了的男孩的故事，但有一个关键的区别：狼从来没有出现过。很长一段时间以来，人们一直担心语言水平正在下降，然而这种令人担忧的沟通障碍从未真正发生过)”以及纵观全文可知，全文围绕批驳“语言正在衰退”这一错误观点展开，是在反驳一个观点。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As we move through life, we find that many things are out of our control.

Here are some practical suggestions to help you adapt (适应) smoothly. First, make an effort to familiarize yourself with the new environment. Attend orientation sessions, and take time to explore the campus — locate key areas such as classrooms, the library, the cafeteria, and administrative offices. Knowing your way around will help reduce anxiety and save time once classes begin. High school includes more tasks, tests, and projects. Stay organized by using a planner or digital calendar to keep up with deadlines. Do important tasks first and avoid procrastination (拖延). When selecting courses, challenge yourself but also leave room for courses that match your interests, since balance is key to maintaining both school performance and well-being. Building positive relationships with teachers and classmates is also important. Don’t be afraid to ask teachers for help during office hours or after class. Join clubs, sports, or other activities to meet like-minded students. Remember, staying true to your values and being yourself will help you form true friendships. Finally, be active in managing your time and responsibilities. Learn to balance schoolwork, activities, and personal time. If you feel stressed, seek support from teachers, parents, or school counselors. High school is a valuable period for personal growth. By taking an active attitude and building good habits early, you’ll be well-prepared to make the most of these important years. Remember that adaptation takes time, so be patient with yourself throughout the process. With strong effort and the right approach, you’ll not only succeed in learning but also develop skills that will serve you well on your journey ahead. 40.

Online tutoring (辅导) through IGivelHappy is a great opportunity. We have volunteer positions for high schoolers, college students, retirees and working professionals, allowing you to teach students online from any location with open schedules you can set yourself. Who can become a tutor? Just about anyone can become a tutor, from high school students to retirees. If you can work on basic reading and math skills at a beginner level, there’s a good chance we can pair you with a student who is a good fit. We require all tutors to be at least high school age, and we ask some additional questions in the application to make sure you’re a good fit for the program. No past experience is needed! We welcome anyone passionate about helping students succeed and we provide you with resources to help you get started. What are the duties of a volunteer tutor? Tutors work one-on-one with students online, helping with homework, learning skills, and confidence-building. We ask tutors to agree to do at least 1 — 2 sessions per week with their students for at least 4 months (a term), as regular, long-term tutoring has been shown to be the most effective way to support learning. Tutors and students create their own schedules based on what works best for both. 21. Through IGiveIHappy, volunteers will ________. A. support students online B. teach high schoolers C. work at a fixed time D. serve in the college 22. According to this passage, applicants should ________.

If selected as a volunteer tutor, one will need to ________. A. build confidence in their teaching skills B. teach students in small groups online C. help students regularly for one term D. work around students’ schedules B In June’s room stands a bright blue clay vase (花瓶). It is not perfect, showing fine lines from being repaired. It tells a story of two girls’ friendship. Amy and June came across each other while traveling with their fathers. Midway, Amy gave June a bright blue clay vase. It was a small gesture, but a simple friendship between two 4-year-olds began. Years flew by. The girls grew up together becoming the closest friends. However, people change as they grow up. As Amy’s interests grew, she started to ignore June. Though hurt, June was still there when Amy needed support. But Amy brushed off June’s problems with “Later”. Finally, June couldn’t take it anymore and invited Amy to her house, hoping to figure their problem out. Instead, a terrible quarrel broke out. “What am I to you? A friend or just a convenience?” June cried. To her shock, Amy screamed back. “June, I hate you!” With these words, Amy stormed out and shut the door hard. The blue vase fell from the shelf by the door and crashed into pieces. A ten-year friendship was broken. One year passed. On her fifteenth birthday, June only felt sad. She remembered her happy fourteenth birthday with Amy. With bittersweet tears, she could still remember the image of four-year-old Amy holding out the blue vase to her. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. At the doorstep stood Amy, holding a small package. “I’m so sorry for how I’ve treated you.” She said, handing the package to June. June opened the gift. Inside was the blue clay vase, gently put back together with care. A letter from Amy read: “I’ve fixed the vase, just like I hope to fix our friendship. I promise to be there for you and cherish our friendship.” June and Amy smiled at each other, feeling the quiet strength of a friendship renewed. The vase now stands as a symbol of their lasting friendship. 24. What did June do when Amy began to ignore her? A. She shouted at Amy. B. She developed new interests. C. She tried to keep their friendship. D. She started to ignore Amy as well. 25. What caused the blue vase to break? A. It knocked against the shelf. B. June knocked it over by accident. C. It fell as Amy shut the door loudly. D. Amy threw it at June as she was angry. 26. Which word would best describe Amy? A. Reflective. B. Talkative. C. Imaginative. D. Cooperative. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Use a gift, and its value shines more brightly. B. Repair a friendship, and it grows stronger. C. Hope is a priceless gift. D. Friend is a second self. C It is a common assumption that to be a computer programmer you need to be very good at math. However, new research from the University of Washington suggests that this is not necessarily the case. The study led by researcher Chantel Prat indicates that being a strong language learner proved to be a much better predictor of a person’s ability to learn programming than having basic math knowledge. For the new study on coding (编程), Prat wanted to explore what makes someone good at learning a skill that involves working with symbols, like programming. Prat points out that a huge number of jobs now require coding skills, and their importance keeps growing. In the experiment, Prat’s team brought in 36 adults with no past coding experience. Participants first took a series of tests, including one for modern language talent, which measures natural talent for learning languages. They were also tested on general cognitive (认知) abilities like problem-solving and working memory, as well as their numeracy. Next, each participant attended ten 45-minute sessions to learn the programming language Python through an online learning platform. After the course, the researchers measured how well each person had learned. They looked at how far participants had progressed in the lessons, their scores on a multiple-choice test about the code’s rules, and their performance in a practical exercise where they had to write a simple program for a rock, paper, scissors game. The results were striking. Among all the things considered, the language talent test was the single strongest predictor of how quickly and effectively someone learned to code in Python. In fact, when the researchers analyzed what led to the differences in learning speed, language talent explained a very large portion (43%), while numeracy explained only a tiny part (6%). “This is the first study that directly compares math against communication abilities for learning this kind of symbolic skill, and it showed that language was a much stronger predictor,” Prat said. She believes this finding is crucial for breaking down the narrow stereotypes (刻板印象) of what a good programmer looks like. Ultimately, she hopes this understanding will not only help identify who might be good at coding but also lead to teaching methods that can match different brain styles, making it possible for almost everyone to learn this important 21st-century skill. 28. What can be learned about coding skills from the passage? A. Past experience plays a key role in learning coding skills. B. Coding skills are becoming increasingly important today. C. Problem-solving abilities help develop coding skills. D. Math ability is the main thing for coding skills. 29. Why does the author write the last paragraph? A. To issue a call to action. B To explain the weak points of the study. C. To compare the methods used in the study. D. To highlight the significance of the finding. 30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Coding: The Most Important 21st-Century Skill B. Coding: A Key Skill Supported by New Research C. Learning to Code: General Cognitive Skills Hold the Key D. Learning to Code: Language Skills Matter More Than Math D The fear that language is in decline (衰退) is like the story of the boy who cried wolf, with one key difference: the wolf never appears. For a very long time, people have worried that language standards are falling, yet this feared breakdown in communication has never actually happened. Language has always been and will remain a useful tool for communication. Those who warn about the decline of language often do not know its history. Their worries are usually not about a real decline, but are simply statements of personal preference for the way of speaking they are used to. The idea that language will get worse to the point where we can only communicate with simple sounds is unfounded. The clearest evidence for this is that people have been making the same warnings for hundreds of years. Many famous writers throughout history have moaned about falling standards. Yet, the very same periods produced some of the greatest works in English literature. And anxiety about standards is not unique to English. Speakers of every language in the world have, at some point, sighed for its future. The truth is that English, like all other languages, keeps changing. The feeling of decline is a false idea created by the speed of this change within our own short lifetimes. Because change often happens between generations, older speakers see the rules they grew up with being replaced by new ones. This can cause cognitive discomfort, which then turns into negative comments. We naturally look for intellectual reasons to explain our personal preferences. If we could live for centuries, we would see the bigger picture. Language change is not simply a sign of carelessness. It happens at all levels, from vocabulary to grammar. Over centuries, a language can be changed so much that it becomes unrecognizable. However, like a complex (复杂的) natural system, language often maintains a balance. Simplification in one area can lead to greater complexity in another. What stays the same is the main expressive power of the language. You can always say what needs to be said. 31. As for language decline, the author is ______. A. disapproving B. supportive C. confused D. indifferent 32. What does the phrase “moaned about” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Expressed dissatisfaction with. B. Showed curiosity about. C. Carefully thought about. D. Paid no attention to. 33. It is implied in this passage that we should ______. A. accept personal differences in language B. stop worrying about language decline C. avoid using simplified language D. protect language from decline 34. What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Address a problem. B. Make a comparison. C. Argue against a view. D. Present facts and information. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As we move through life, we find that many things are out of our control.
