To make the list, we considered how age-appropriate the material was, and whether the tone and story line left the reader feeling engaged and empowered rather than anxious or confused. Experts recommend the youngest kids to read books that explore the beauty and fragility (脆弱) of nature. When developing an appreciation for the world around them, they can turn to books that show the cause and effect of how humans treat our planet, and why it’s important to respect the environment. For older primary school kids picture books can illustrate how our use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming. Most of the books on the list also offer lessons about how children, families, schools, and communities can make a difference. THANK YOU, EARTH: A LOVE LETTERTO OUR PLANET By April Pulley Sayre This photography book shows to us plants, animals and landscapes in vivid colors and descriptions. From up-close images of insects to pictures of mountain ranges, the pages introduce children to the planet’s diversity in a simple but effective way. THE LORAX By Dr. Seuss Thanks to its rhyme, and whimsical (异想天开的) illustration, this classic tale is suitable for young children who can grasp the scarcity of natural resources, and also older kids who can see a danger in valuing profits over long-term environmental harm. WE ARE WATER PROTECTORS By Carole Lindstrom A tribute to native tribes that are protecting the planet, this book vividly shows the harms of oil pipelines. Kids will see the value of community action, while adults will recognize the story of the native tribes Standing Rock Sioux’s fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. POLAR BEAR, WHY IS YOUR WORLD MELTING? By Robert E. Wells This book introduces the greenhouse effect with illustrations showing how sunlight gets trapped. It then explains fossil-fuel energy, and our reliance on it for electricity and transportation. The pages are full of science. 36. Why did TIME and TIME for Kids select the books mentioned in the passage? A. They all use complex scientific terms to explain climate change in detail, for older primary students. B. They strike a balance between suitability and the tone, rather than bringing about anxiety. C. They are all classic works that have won awards on the environment. D. They mainly focus on the harms of fossil fuels to help kids reject energy consumption. 37. Which of the following statements about the recommended books is true? A. The Lorax is more suitable for young kids than older ones because of rhymes and whimsical pictures. B. Polar Bear, Why Is Your World Melting? emphasizes fossil fuels’ role in climate change. C. We Are Water Protectors aims to let kids understand the science behind oil pipeline harms. D. Thank You, Earth helps kids develop environmental respect by showing nature’s diversity. 38. According to the passage, what is the common feature of most recommended books? A. They all use photography to present environmental issues in a vivid way. B. They provide insights into how individuals or communities can make a difference. C. They connect climate topics to real historical events that kids can recognize. D. They focus on explaining the greenhouse effect and carbon cycle to primary students. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38.

However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realized that was the least of his problems. Duran's problems began even before he stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was the belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz — a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others could have representation as well. To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sports, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners. After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboard brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and been offered free equipment by skating organizations like Skate Like a Girl. Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to get rid of body image stereotypes (刻板印象). “I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strength and sizes. Everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available,” he explains. For those hesitant about taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say: “Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.” 39. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The skateboard. B. His hobby. C. His ability. D. The time. 40. Which of the following is the main reason for Duran founding Chub Rollz? A. He couldn't find suitable skateboarding clothes and boards for fat skaters. B. He wanted to encourage more people to take up skateboarding as a hobby. C. He hoped to attract media attention to report his story. D. He aimed to challenge the idea that plus-size people shouldn't skate and give them a sense of belonging. 41. Which word can best describe Duran? A. Generous and helpful. B. Inspiring and creative. C. Adaptable and easy-going. D. Talented and considerate. 42. Which is most likely Duran's belief? A. Everyone has a gift for sports. B. No one is too fat to enjoy sports. C. Fat people do deserve social concern. D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people. 【答案】39. C 40. D 41. B 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了为了改变人们对胖人在体育运动中的刻板印象，Andy Duran成立了一个专门为超重的滑板者开设的滑板社区，他的行为受到了许多人的关注，激励了那些胖人积极参与运动。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段划线词that前文的内容“When 36-year-old Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby — skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time.(当36岁的Andy Duran决定重返他高中时最喜欢的滑板运动时，他认为会遇到的唯一麻烦是，在这么长时间之后，自己是否有能力重新踏上滑板)”可知，划线词前文提到担心的是自己是否有能力重新踏上滑板，故此处划线词that代指前文中的“his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time (他重新踏上滑板的能力)”，故意思为：然而，这位体重340磅的滑板手很快意识到，能力问题其实是他所有问题中最微不足道的一个。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Determined to do something to change the image of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz — a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others could have representation as well.(为了改变人们对超重人群参与运动的刻板印象，Duran决定行动起来，他创立了Chub Rollz——一个专为超重滑手设立的轮滑与滑板社区。他知道，他不仅需要亲自回归滑板运动来证明人们的偏见是错误的，还需要创建一个能让其他人也找到归属感和认同的安全空间)”可知，Duran成立Chub Rollz是为了挑战“胖人不应该滑板”的观念，并给他们一种归属感。故选D。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sports, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.(为了鼓励超重人群参与这项有趣的运动，Duran为胖滑手们整理了一份推荐产品清单。他还开设了轮滑和滑板课程来教导初学者)”可知，为了鼓励超重人群参与这项运动，他成立了俱乐部，为肥胖的滑冰运动员列出了推荐产品清单，还举办了轮滑和滑板课程来教初学者等等，故可推知他是“有创造力的”；再根据第四段“After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding.(Duran在《旧金山纪事报》上发表了一篇关于他的想法的文章后，他收到了很多陌生人的留言，感谢他给了他们开始玩滑板的勇气)”可知，Duran的行为激励了许多人，因此他又是“鼓舞人心的”。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For those hesitant about taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say: “Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it. ”(对于那些因为身材而犹豫是否开始自己心仪活动的人，Duran想这样说：“善待自己。仅仅因为你没见过，不意味着你不能成为那样的人。”)”并阅读全文可知，Duran成立了Chub Rollz滑板社区，推荐产品清单，举办课程等等，受到了人们的欢迎，并吸引了品牌商原意提供更适合他们的服装和运动器械。他还鼓励那些因肥胖而犹豫不决的人要善待自己。由此推知，他愿意为胖人从事运动而做这些事情的缘由是他相信没有人会因为太胖而不能享受运动。故选B。 C When it comes to achieving success, some believe that there is a magic number for greatness, a ten-year or 10, 000-hour rule, which suggests that practising any skill for 10, 000 hours is enough to make you an expert. In his 2008 book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell wrote that “ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness”. Many professionals and experts did acquire their exceptional skill through persistent practices. But detailed analyses of the case studies of experts often suggest that certain situational factors beyond the control of these exceptional performers also play an important role. For example, three national champions in table tennis came from the same street in a small suburb of one town in England. This wasn't a coincidence. It turns out that a famous table tennis coach, Peter Charters, happened to retire in this particular suburb. Many kids who lived on the same street as the retired coach were attracted to this sport because of him and three of them, after following the “10, 000-hour rule”, performed exceptionally well, including winning the national championship. Their talent and efforts were, of course, very important. But without their early luck (having a reliable, high-quality coach and supportive families) , simply practicing 10, 000 hours without enough feedback wouldn't likely lead a child to become a national champion. We could also imagine a child with superior talent in table tennis suffering from early bad luck. Then they might never have a chance to realise their potential. It seems that the more exceptional a performance is, the fewer meaningful, applicable lessons we can actually learn from the “winner”. When it comes to moderate performance, it seems much more likely that our intuition about success is correct. Traditional wisdom, such as “the harder I work the luckier I get” or “chance favours the prepared mind”, makes perfect sense when talking about someone moving from poor to good performance. Going from good to great, however, is a different story. Being in the right place at the right time (having early luck) can be so important. 43. Which proverb can best summarise the 10, 000-hour rule? A. Hard work pays off. B. Nothing is impossible. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Rome wasn't built in a day. 44. Why does the author give the example of the three national champions? A. To show the power of personal effort. B. To tell us the benefits of having a good coach. C. To prove the necessity of interests and hobbies. D. To stress the importance of external environment. 45. According to the author, we would learn least from __________. A. a top student in our class B. an excellent teacher in our school C. the most famous scientist in China D. the greatest businessman in the world 46. What do the underlined words “a different story” probably mean? A. Takes more time. B. Involves more luck. C. Takes more perseverance. D. Involves more hard work. 47. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage? A. Outliers Revisited: Why Gladwell's 10, 000-Hour Rule Is Incomplete B. Table Tennis Champions: The Hidden Role of Coaches in Success C. From Competent to Elite: How Practice Time Determines Greatness D. Luck vs. Practice: Which Is More Important for Achieving Expertise? 【答案】43. C 44. D 45. D 46. B 47. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章质疑了“一万小时定律”所代表的“成功仅靠刻意练习”的单一观念，强调在达到卓越成就的过程中，除了个人努力和天赋之外，外部环境因素和早期机遇（运气）也起着至关重要的、甚至决定性的作用。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“10, 000-hour rule, which suggests that practising any skill for 10, 000 hours is enough to make you an expert.(一万小时定律，即练习任何技能达到一万小时就足以让你成为专家。)”可知，“一万小时定律”强调通过长期、持续的练习可以达到专业或精通水平。故C 项“Practice makes perfect(熟能生巧)”能总结这个定律，故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But detailed analyses of the case studies of experts often suggest that certain situational factors beyond the control of these exceptional performers also play an important role. For example, three national champions in table tennis came from the same street in a small suburb of one town in England.(但对专家案例的详细分析往往表明，某些超出这些杰出人物控制范围的外部情境因素也起着重要作用。例如，英格兰一个小镇郊区的同一条街上，曾走出了三位全国乒乓球冠军。)”可知，作者拿这三位全国乒乓球冠军举例是为了说明外部情境因素对一个人的成功也起着重要的作用，因此是为了强调外部环境的重要性。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“It seems that the more exceptional a performance is, the fewer meaningful, applicable lessons we can actually learn from the “winner”.(似乎表现越卓越，我们能从“赢家”身上汲取的有意义、可借鉴的经验反而越少。)”可知，文中提到一个人的表现越杰出，我们能从中学到的有意义、可应用的经验就越少，这是因为顶尖人物的成功往往夹杂着特殊机遇、时代背景或个人运气，普通人难以复制，“世界上最伟大的商人”处于“非凡成就”层级，是几个选项中最顶尖的成功，因此我们能从他身上学到的东西最少。故选D。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Traditional wisdom, such as “the harder I work the luckier I get” or “chance favours the prepared mind”, makes perfect sense when talking about someone moving from poor to good performance. Going from good to great, however, is a different story. Being in the right place at the right time (having early luck) can be so important.(传统智慧，如“越努力越幸运”或“机遇青睐有准备的头脑”，在描述一个人从差到好的进步时完全适用。然而，从优秀走向卓越，情况就不同了。在正确的时间身处正确的地方（拥有早期好运）可能至关重要。)”可知，画线短语a different story前文说从差到好，努力是非常重要的；而后半句转折指出从好到伟大则是“a different story”。画线短语后文“出现在正确的时间地点，即拥有早期好运”被特别强调，说明通往巅峰的过程不再仅仅依赖努力，还需要不可预测的外部机遇。因此，“a different story”尤其体现在“运气更重要”这一点上。故选B。 【47题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In his 2008 book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell wrote that “ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness”.(在2008年出版的《异类》一书中，Malcolm Gladwell写道：“一万小时是成就伟大的神奇数字。”)”和第三段“But detailed analyses of the case studies of experts often suggest that certain situational factors beyond the control of these exceptional performers also play an important role.(但对专家案例的详细分析往往表明，某些超出这些杰出人物控制范围的外部情境因素也起着重要作用。)”，并众观全文可知，全文围绕 Malcolm Gladwell 在其著作《Outliers》提出的 “一万小时定律”展开讨论，既承认其合理性，又指出局限性——忽略了情境因素、幸运时机和社会环境的影响。故A项“《重探《异类》：为何格拉德威尔的“一万小时定律”并不完整”反映了文章主旨，能概括全文主要内容，符合文章标题。故选A。 IV. 单词拼写 (共15小题，每题1分，满分15分) 【根据所提供的中文或首字母，用单词的适当形式填空，每空一词。】 48.

To make the list, we considered how age-appropriate the material was, and whether the tone and story line left the reader feeling engaged and empowered rather than anxious or confused. Experts recommend the youngest kids to read books that explore the beauty and fragility (脆弱) of nature. When developing an appreciation for the world around them, they can turn to books that show the cause and effect of how humans treat our planet, and why it’s important to respect the environment. For older primary school kids picture books can illustrate how our use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming. Most of the books on the list also offer lessons about how children, families, schools, and communities can make a difference. THANK YOU, EARTH: A LOVE LETTERTO OUR PLANET By April Pulley Sayre This photography book shows to us plants, animals and landscapes in vivid colors and descriptions. From up-close images of insects to pictures of mountain ranges, the pages introduce children to the planet’s diversity in a simple but effective way. THE LORAX By Dr. Seuss Thanks to its rhyme, and whimsical (异想天开的) illustration, this classic tale is suitable for young children who can grasp the scarcity of natural resources, and also older kids who can see a danger in valuing profits over long-term environmental harm. WE ARE WATER PROTECTORS By Carole Lindstrom A tribute to native tribes that are protecting the planet, this book vividly shows the harms of oil pipelines. Kids will see the value of community action, while adults will recognize the story of the native tribes Standing Rock Sioux’s fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. POLAR BEAR, WHY IS YOUR WORLD MELTING? By Robert E. Wells This book introduces the greenhouse effect with illustrations showing how sunlight gets trapped. It then explains fossil-fuel energy and our reliance on it for electricity and transportation. The pages are full of science. 36. Why did TIME and TIME for Kids select the books mentioned in the passage? A. They all use complex scientific terms to explain climate change in detail, for older primary students. B. They strike a balance between suitability and the tone, rather than bringing about anxiety. C. They are all classic works that have won awards on the environment. D. They mainly focus on the harms of fossil fuels to help kids reject energy consumption. 37. Which of the following statements about the recommended books is true? A. The Lorax is more suitable for young kids than older ones because of rhymes and whimsical pictures. B. Polar Bear, Why Is Your World Melting? emphasizes fossil fuels’ role in climate change. C. We Are Water Protectors aims to let kids understand the science behind oil pipeline harms. D. Thank You, Earth helps kids develop environmental respect by showing nature’s diversity. 38. According to the passage, what is the common feature of most recommended books? A. They all use photography to present environmental issues in a vivid way. B. They provide insights into how individuals or communities can make a difference. C. They connect climate topics to real historical events that kids can recognize. D. They focus on explaining the greenhouse effect and carbon cycle to primary students. B When 36-year-old Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby — skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realized that was the least of his problems. Duran's problems began even before he stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was the belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz — a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others could have representation as well. To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sports, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners. After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboard brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and been offered free equipment by skating organizations like Skate Like a Girl. Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to get rid of body image stereotypes (刻板印象). “I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strength and sizes. Everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available,” he explains.

C When it comes to achieving success, some believe that there is a magic number for greatness, a ten-year or 10, 000-hour rule, which suggests that practising any skill for 10, 000 hours is enough to make you an expert. In his 2008 book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell wrote that “ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness”. Many professionals and experts did acquire their exceptional skill through persistent practices. But detailed analyses of the case studies of experts often suggest that certain situational factors beyond the control of these exceptional performers also play an important role. For example, three national champions in table tennis came from the same street in a small suburb of one town in England. This wasn't a coincidence. It turns out that a famous table tennis coach, Peter Charters, happened to retire in this particular suburb. Many kids who lived on the same street as the retired coach were attracted to this sport because of him and three of them, after following the “10, 000-hour rule”, performed exceptionally well, including winning the national championship. Their talent and efforts were, of course, very important. But without their early luck (having a reliable, high-quality coach and supportive families) , simply practicing 10, 000 hours without enough feedback wouldn't likely lead a child to become a national champion. We could also imagine a child with superior talent in table tennis suffering from early bad luck. Then they might never have a chance to realise their potential. It seems that the more exceptional a performance is, the fewer meaningful, applicable lessons we can actually learn from the “winner”. When it comes to moderate performance, it seems much more likely that our intuition about success is correct. Traditional wisdom, such as “the harder I work the luckier I get” or “chance favours the prepared mind”, makes perfect sense when talking about someone moving from poor to good performance. Going from good to great, however, is a different story. Being in the right place at the right time (having early luck) can be so important. 43. Which proverb can best summarise the 10, 000-hour rule? A. Hard work pays off. B. Nothing is impossible. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Rome wasn't built in a day. 44. Why does the author give the example of the three national champions? A. To show the power of personal effort. B. To tell us the benefits of having a good coach. C. To prove the necessity of interests and hobbies. D. To stress the importance of external environment. 45. According to the author we would learn least from __________. A. a top student in our class B. an excellent teacher in our school C. the most famous scientist in China D. the greatest businessman in the world 46. What do the underlined words “a different story” probably mean? A. Takes more time. B. Involves more luck. C. Takes more perseverance. D. Involves more hard work. 47. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage? A. Outliers Revisited: Why Gladwell's 10, 000-Hour Rule Is Incomplete B. Table Tennis Champions: The Hidden Role of Coaches in Success C. From Competent to Elite: How Practice Time Determines Greatness D. Luck vs. Practice: Which Is More Important for Achieving Expertise?
