B
Our teacher, Miss Chevalier was a small woman, with a moon face, fatty fingers and curls that sprang straight up from her head, hence the funny name “Poodle (卷毛狗)”. She taught in our reading club. Sometimes she would look in and ask what we were reading — not to check but to know.
That’s what happened the day my club was reading aloud a poem by Henry Longfellow. I guess I was better than the others, for Miss Chevalier asked a while later, “Addie, I was wondering if you would recite the whole poem to the Saturday evening’s club.” She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start.
She asked me to memorize it. “But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. I’m telling you, my happy feet barely touched the ground all the way home. To me, that was the biggest thing ever and I soon learned the whole poem by heart, well prepared for our first rehearsal.
I was desperately nervous when I went to her office the next day. But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right.
Halfway through the poem, Miss Chevalier stopped me and asked if I knew what “impetuous” meant. Despite her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read its definition aloud. “Impetuous has two definitions: rushing with great force or violence; acting suddenly, with little thought. ”
She asked me which one fitted the poem. I read both definitions over again, trying to figure it out, but Miss Chevalier must have read my mind. “There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.” Hesitantly, I said, “Maybe… both.”
She liked that. “One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous?”
I knew she was asking for an opinion. “My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway.”
She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.”
After that, I would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again.
41. Why was Addie asked to recite Longfellow’s poem to the Saturday evening’s club?

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了老师希望作者以诗歌朗诵的形式为周六晚上的演讲活动来暖场,排练时作者有一个词不懂,老师耐心引导作者理解,使作者逐渐领悟该词词义,作者很感动。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start. (她说一位著名的教授要给这位诗人做讲座,而这首诗的演讲将是一个新的开始)”可知,老师谢瓦利埃小姐希望作者以诗歌朗诵的形式为周六晚上的演讲活动来暖场,D项“尝试一种新的方式来为即将到来的讲座热身”符合题意。故选D项。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中““But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. (“但对于你这种能力的孩子来说,这应该不是问题,”她补充道)”可知,老师信任作者的朗诵能力,她感到非常高兴,C项“她的表现获得了认可”符合题意。故选C项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中“But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right. (但好的是,她总是面带微笑,让你觉得你做得对)”和第五段中“Despite her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read its definition aloud. (尽管她微笑着鼓励我,但我还是想沉下去,因为我不确定它的发音和含义。谢瓦利埃小姐假装没有注意到我的脸红,递给我一本词典,让我大声朗读它的定义)”可知,老师对作者很关爱和耐心指导。由此推知,老师是一个关心人和体贴的人。故选A项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。由第六段中““There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.”(“没有错误的答案,”她说,“我想知道你的意见,艾迪)”,第七段中“One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous? (一个人必须左右都冲动,否则他们不敢面对任何挑战。你会说自己冲动吗?)”, 第八段中“My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway. (不管怎样,我妈妈认为对女孩冲动是不合适的)” 和第九段“She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.”(她说我妈妈说得对。“但女孩们也应该明智地在需要时接受挑战。我相信你就是这样一个女孩。”)”可知,通过教师与作者对话的叙述,教师通过一系列问题把作者的成长背景和“impetuous”词义联系起来,使作者逐渐领悟该词词义,D项“把它的定义与艾迪的情况联系起来”符合题意。故选D项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。由第九段中“But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl. (但女孩们也应该明智地在需要时接受挑战。我相信你就是这样一个女孩)”可推知,老师的信任令作者感动,所以作者再也不会称谢瓦利埃小姐为“卷毛狗”。故选C项。
C
A significant study, led by Sarah Gaither, a researcher from Duke University, shows that reminding children of their different social roles—like friend, neighbor, son, or daughter—can greatly improve their problem-solving skills and creative thinking. This research highlights the importance of self-awareness in early cognitive growth and gives useful advice for teachers and parents.
The experiment included 196 English-speaking children aged 6 to 10. The children were split into two groups. The first group was reminded that they had various roles, such as son, daughter, reader or helper, while the second group of children received information about other children’s many roles instead of their own. Both groups then did tasks to test creativity, flexibility, and analytical skills.
The results were clear. Children in the first group solved problems better. For example, when shown a picture of a bear looking at a high beehive (蜂巢), these children thought of more creative ideas—like using a stick to get honey or working with imaginary animals. They also adapted better when sorting facial photos. While the control group sorted faces by simple traits like gender or age, the first group used deeper details, like facial expressions or situations.
Gaither says the results show a simple but useful method for teachers. “By teaching children to think about their roles, schools can help them develop skills for adaptability and new ideas,” she says. This matches social identity theory, which states that knowing many group memberships broadens views and reduces fixed thinking.
“People often consider they belong to only one group at a time,” said Christopher Marlowe, a teacher in Durham, North Carolina, “When we make kids realize that they have different roles, they begin to think more and remember that there are many other groups. It will do good to their mental development.”
46. What is Sarah Gaither’s role in the study?
A. A teacher designing classroom activities.
B. A psychologist analyzing social behaviors.
C. A journalist reporting on child development.
D. A university researcher leading the study.
47. What does Paragraph 2 suggest about the experiment design?
A. The first group learned about their roles.
B. Children were grouped by their ages.
C. The second group received no tasks.
D. All participants listed family members.
48. Why does the author mention the example of the beehive?
A. To emphasize the difficulty of the tests.
B. To criticize traditional teaching methods.
C. To show role awareness affects problem-solving.
D. To compare children’s creativity with that of animals.
49. What can be inferred about children aware of multiple roles?
A. They struggle with group cooperation.
B. They develop broader views on social issues.
C. They rely more on adults for decision-making.
D. They prefer individual activities over teamwork.
50. Which of the following is the passage probably taken from?
A. A history book.
B. An art magazine.
C. A science magazine.
D. A technical instruction book.
【答案】46. D 47. A 48. C 49. B 50. C

【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The experiment included 196 English-speaking children aged 6 to 10. The children were split into two groups. The first group was reminded that they had various roles, such as son, daughter, reader or helper, while the second group of children received information about other children’s many roles instead of their own.(实验涵盖了196名6至10岁、以英语为母语儿童。这些孩子被分为两组:第一组被提醒他们拥有多种角色,例如儿子、女儿、读者或帮手;而第二组孩子则被告知其他孩子的多种角色,而非自己的)”可知,第一组孩子被提醒自己拥有多种角色,第二组则了解其他孩子的角色,即第一组学习了关于自己的角色。故选A。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The results were clear. Children in the first group solved problems better. For example, when shown a picture of a bear looking at a high beehive (蜂巢), these children thought of more creative ideas—like using a stick to get honey or working with imaginary animals.(结果十分明确。第一组的孩子解决问题的能力更强。例如,当看到一张熊望着高处蜂巢的图片时,这些孩子能想出更有创意的办法——比如用棍子够蜂蜜,或是和想象中的动物合作)”可知,作者提到蜂巢的例子是为了说明第一组孩子(被提醒自身多种角色的孩子)在解决问题时能想出更有创意的方法,如用棍子够蜂蜜或与想象中的动物合作。这一例子具体展示了角色意识对问题解决能力的积极影响。故选C。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“This matches social identity theory, which states that knowing many group memberships broadens views and reduces fixed thinking.(这与社会认同理论相符,该理论认为,认识到自己属于多个群体能拓宽视野,减少思维定式)”可知,了解自己属于多个群体(即意识到多种角色)能拓宽视野、减少思维定式。由此可推断,意识到多种角色的孩子会对社会问题形成更广阔的看法。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,文章围绕一项关于“孩子意识到多种角色对其解决问题能力和思维方式影响”的研究展开,详细介绍了研究背景、实验设计、结果及结论,属于科学研究范畴的内容。由此推知,本文最有可能来自一本科学杂志。故选C。

Eating a balanced diet is important for both physical and mental health, preventing diet-related illnesses and giving you the energy you need to make the most of the day. However, with so many app-recommended yet unhealthy options available, it can be hard to stick to good food and recommended portion sizes.
If you struggle to maintain a healthy diet, the first step is to do some research. Find out what you should be eating and compare it to your current diet. Once you’ve identified the main problem areas, you can figure out some simple swaps and changes. There are hundreds of books and online guides, so you can find the foods and recipes that appeal — it’s almost impossible to stick to healthy eating if you’ re forcing yourself to eat things you don’t actually like.
One of the best food-related habits to establish is regularly eating breakfast. Many people skip the first meal of the day, but a big, nutritious breakfast powers your body through the morning and reduces cravings. Keep healthy options like fruit, nuts, and yogurt to hand in case you do need to snack, and over time you should feel less of a draw to sugary and fatty foods.

Our teacher, Miss Chevalier was a small woman, with a moon face, fatty fingers and curls that sprang straight up from her head, hence the funny name “Poodle (卷毛狗)”. She taught in our reading club. Sometimes she would look in and ask what we were reading — not to check but to know.
That’s what happened the day my club was reading aloud a poem by Henry Longfellow. I guess I was better than the others, for Miss Chevalier asked a while later, “Addie, I was wondering if you would recite the whole poem to the Saturday evening’s club.” She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start.
She asked me to memorize it. “But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. I’m telling you, my happy feet barely touched the ground all the way home. To me, that was the biggest thing ever and I soon learned the whole poem by heart, well prepared for our first rehearsal.
I was desperately nervous when I went to her office the next day. But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right.
Halfway through the poem, Miss Chevalier stopped me and asked if I knew what “impetuous” meant. Despite her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read its definition aloud. “Impetuous has two definitions: rushing with great force or violence; acting suddenly, with little thought. ”
She asked me which one fitted the poem. I read both definitions over again, trying to figure it out, but Miss Chevalier must have read my mind. “There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.” Hesitantly, I said, “Maybe… both.”
She liked that. “One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous?”
I knew she was asking for an opinion. “My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway.”
She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.”
After that, I would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again.
41. Why was Addie asked to recite Longfellow’s poem to the Saturday evening’s club?
A. To help with her performance.
B. To get the attention of her classmates.

A significant study, led by Sarah Gaither, a researcher from Duke University, shows that reminding children of their different social roles—like friend, neighbor, son, or daughter—can greatly improve their problem-solving skills and creative thinking. This research highlights the importance of self-awareness in early cognitive growth and gives useful advice for teachers and parents.
The experiment included 196 English-speaking children aged 6 to 10. The children were split into two groups. The first group was reminded that they had various roles, such as son, daughter, reader or helper, while the second group of children received information about other children’s many roles instead of their own. Both groups then did tasks to test creativity, flexibility, and analytical skills.
The results were clear. Children in the first group solved problems better. For example, when shown a picture of a bear looking at a high beehive (蜂巢), these children thought of more creative ideas—like using a stick to get honey or working with imaginary animals. They also adapted better when sorting facial photos. While the control group sorted faces by simple traits like gender or age, the first group used deeper details, like facial expressions or situations.
Gaither says the results show a simple but useful method for teachers. “By teaching children to think about their roles, schools can help them develop skills for adaptability and new ideas,” she says. This matches social identity theory, which states that knowing many group memberships broadens views and reduces fixed thinking.
“People often consider they belong to only one group at a time,” said Christopher Marlowe, a teacher in Durham, North Carolina, “When we make kids realize that they have different roles, they begin to think more and remember that there are many other groups. It will do good to their mental development.”
46. What is Sarah Gaither’s role in the study?
A. A teacher designing classroom activities.
B. A psychologist analyzing social behaviors.
C. A journalist reporting on child development.
D. A university researcher leading the study.
47. What does Paragraph 2 suggest about the experiment design?
A. The first group learned about their roles.
B. Children were grouped by their ages.
C. The second group received no tasks.
D. All participants listed family members.
48. Why does the author mention the example of the beehive?
A To emphasize the difficulty of the tests.
B. To criticize traditional teaching methods.
C. To show role awareness affects problem-solving.
D. To compare children’s creativity with that of animals.
49. What can be inferred about children aware of multiple roles?
A. They struggle with group cooperation.
B. They develop broader views on social issues.
C. They rely more on adults for decision-making.

Eating a balanced diet is important for both physical and mental health, preventing diet-related illnesses and giving you the energy you need to make the most of the day. However, with so many app-recommended yet unhealthy options available, it can be hard to stick to good food and recommended portion sizes.
If you struggle to maintain a healthy diet, the first step is to do some research. Find out what you should be eating and compare it to your current diet. Once you’ve identified the main problem areas, you can figure out some simple swaps and changes. There are hundreds of books and online guides, so you can find the foods and recipes that appeal — it’s almost impossible to stick to healthy eating if you’ re forcing yourself to eat things you don’t actually like.
One of the best food-related habits to establish is regularly eating breakfast. Many people skip the first meal of the day, but a big, nutritious breakfast powers your body through the morning and reduces cravings. Keep healthy options like fruit, nuts, and yogurt to hand in case you do need to snack, and over time you should feel less of a draw to sugary and fatty foods.
