第三节:阅读理解(共16小题;每小题2.5分,满分40分)
A
When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Set on Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class,I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk,she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered,and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third,I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
41. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time.
B. It is important to make an effort
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is enough to do the necessary.
42. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.
A. recite their homework together
B grade their homework themselves
C. answer their homework questions orally
D. check the answers to their homework questions
43. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.
A. asked questions in a regular way
B. walked up and down when asking questions
C. chose two or three questions for the students
D. requested her students to finish their usual questions
44. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.
A the class didn’t begin as usual
B. several students didn’t come to school
C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

B. A Future Mathematician
C. An Effective Approach
D. A Valuable Lesson
【答案】41. D 42. C 43. A 44. B 45. D

主旨大意题。在文章中作者回忆了自己青春期早期,在一堂数学课上所发生的尴尬的事情,给作者一次有价值的教训。故选D.
C
Over breakfast this morning, I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy. I explained what I had learned about the psychology of happiness from a Spanish-language podcast. By the end of the ten-minute conversation, I felt that I had mastered more of the language than if I’d done an hour of textbook exercises.
Mia, however, does not exist in real life. It is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect” (门徒效应). According to research, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored — even if that person doesn’t really exist. The effect has its roots in the principle of “learning by teaching,” pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, a French teacher working in Germany. To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools in the country.
Later, a group of Stanford scientists tested the idea. In a pioneering experiment, Catherine Chase asked 62 eighth-graders to use a computer program to study how fever affects the body. Over two lessons, the students had to read a text and then create a flowchart. Half the teens did the exercise as a form of self-study, while the others were told that their diagram would help to teach a virtual character. At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests.
Chase named this the protege effect, and it has since been replicated (复制) many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other memory techniques. The brain boost appears to arise as much from the expectation of teaching as the act itself. If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information. As a result, we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken assumptions before passing our knowledge on to others. This process then helps to enhance what we have learned.
To put the protege effect into practice, a face-to-face conversation with a human partner is ideal, but it can be hard to find one. Fortunately, there are other ways. You might choose to present your progress as a blog or video aimed at other learners. Or you might, like me, choose to chat with an AI. I prompt (instruct) ChatGPT to act as a curious Spanish student, Mia, who listens to what I’ve been learning and asks suitable questions and follow-ups. With voice features, I can practice speaking as well. Though it felt awkward to talk to my computer at first, I became more confident in real-life interactions after just a few weeks.
46. Jean-Pol Martin’s teaching method is mentioned in the text to ______.
A. highlight the role of student competition in learning
B. contrast Eastern and Western educational philosophies
C. provide historical context for the concept’s development
D. demonstrate the inefficiency of teacher-centered instruction
47. The author mentions Catherine Chase’s study to show that ______.
A. flowcharts are useful tools to learn science
B. self-study is more effective than group learning
C. virtual characters cannot replace human teachers
D. learning by teaching is supported by scientific evidence
48. What does Paragraph 4 imply about the protege effect?
A. It encourages learners to avoid uncertain topics entirely.
B. It motivates deeper learning by creating a sense of duty.
C. It promotes systematic review of previously mastered material.
D. It relies on external feedback to correct errors in comprehension.
49. With regard to applying the “protege effect,” the author would most agree that ______.
A. teaching real people is best but not always possible
B. chatting with AI is as effective as real-life interactions
C. overcoming the initial discomfort of teaching is the key
D. presenting learning progress publicly offers greater benefits
50. The author’s personal experience with Mia is introduced primarily to ______.
A. criticize the limitations of traditional language learning methods
B. illustrate the practical application of a psychological phenomenon
C. emphasize the superiority of AI over human interaction in education
D. showcase the technical complexities of creating virtual study partners
51. The author’s attitude to using AI for the protege effect can be described as ______.
A. overly enthusiastic without practical support

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“门徒效应”这一心理学现象,阐述了其起源、相关科学研究,以及该效应在学习(如语言学习)中的实际应用方式。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The effect has its roots in the principle of “learning by teaching,” pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, a French teacher working in Germany. To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools in the country. (这种效应的根源在于“教中学习”的原则,该原则是由在德国工作的法语教师让-波尔·马丁在20世纪80年代初首创的。为了提高学生的语言学习,他让他们研究并向同学展示课程的不同部分。这种方法提高了他们的积极性、自信心和交际能力,并很快推广到该国的许多其他学校)”可知,文中提到让-波尔・马丁的教学方法是为了给“门徒效应”这一概念的发展提供历史背景。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests. (最后,那些扮演教学角色的学生对材料掌握得更多,在测试中的表现也更好)”可知,作者提到凯瑟琳・蔡斯的研究是为了表明“以教促学”有科学证据支持。故选D项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information. As a result, we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken assumptions before passing our knowledge on to others. (如果我们知道别人要向我们学习,我们就会有提供正确信息的责任感。因此,在把我们的知识传授给别人之前,我们会更加努力地填补我们理解上的空白,纠正任何错误的假设)”可推知,“门徒效应”通过产生一种责任感来促进更深入的学习。故选B项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段首句“To put the protege effect into practice, a face-to-face conversation with a human partner is ideal, but it can be hard to find one. (要将“门徒效应”付诸实践,与真人进行面对面的交流是最理想的,但很难找到这样的人)”可知,关于应用“门徒效应”,作者最认同的是教真人是最好的,但并不总是可行。故选A项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Over breakfast this morning, I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy. I explained what I had learned about the psychology of happiness from a Spanish-language podcast. By the end of the ten-minute conversation, I felt that I had mastered more of the language than if I’d done an hour of textbook exercises. (今天早上吃早餐的时候,我和我的新西班牙语学习伙伴米娅聊了一会儿。我解释了我从一个西班牙语播客中学到的关于幸福心理学的知识。在十分钟的对话结束时,我觉得我掌握的语言比做一个小时的课本练习还要多)”以及后文对“门徒效应”的阐述可知,作者介绍与米娅的个人经历主要是为了说明一种心理现象的实际应用。故选B项。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Though it felt awkward to talk to my computer at first, I became more confident in real-life interactions after just a few weeks. (虽然一开始和我的电脑说话感觉很尴尬,但仅仅几周后,我在现实生活中的交流就变得更加自信了)”可知,作者对使用人工智能来实现“门徒效应”的态度是尽管一开始不舒服,但持谨慎乐观的态度。故选C项。

It was a dark and stormy night. The ferocious wind shook the windows wildly, as though someone outside were beating on the glass. It was also New Year’s Eve. We were having our annual party and had a house full of people just starting to celebrate.
Suddenly, we heard loud explosions. Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks(火花) flying from electrical transformers(变压器). One area after another went dark up in those hills. Then there was the loudest explosion of them all and our house went dark too. I tried to find every candle we had and lit them. The candles made everything look lovely. But we had problems. We had fifteen people standing around and we still had to cook dinner. How would we do that without electricity?
The barbecue! Why not cook on the barbecue? We men went outside, some holding flashlights and others cooking. We did a wonderful job. The women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious. There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn’t watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but that wouldn’t stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone’s watch to tell us the time, we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for that!
Nowadays, we still get together with the same group to celebrate the New Year and we still talk about that special night. I don’t think we have ever laughed so much as we did on that New Year’s Eve.

第三节:阅读理解(共16小题;每小题2.5分,满分40分)
A
When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, and the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It features an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food — something that happens to almost all of us — High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Set on Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU (New York University) is the perfect university for you not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want — and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class,I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk,she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered,and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third,I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
41. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time.
B. It is important to make an effort
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is enough to do the necessary.
42. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.

A. the class didn’t begin as usual
B. several students didn’t come to school
C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class

C
Over breakfast this morning, I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy. I explained what I had learned about the psychology of happiness from a Spanish-language podcast. By the end of the ten-minute conversation, I felt that I had mastered more of the language than if I’d done an hour of textbook exercises.
Mia, however, does not exist in real life. It is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect” (门徒效应). According to research, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored — even if that person doesn’t really exist. The effect has its roots in the principle of “learning by teaching,” pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, a French teacher working in Germany. To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools in the country.
Later, a group of Stanford scientists tested the idea. In a pioneering experiment, Catherine Chase asked 62 eighth-graders to use a computer program to study how fever affects the body. Over two lessons, the students had to read a text and then create a flowchart. Half the teens did the exercise as a form of self-study, while the others were told that their diagram would help to teach a virtual character. At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests.
Chase named this the protege effect, and it has since been replicated (复制) many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other memory techniques. The brain boost appears to arise as much from the expectation of teaching as the act itself. If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information. As a result, we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken assumptions before passing our knowledge on to others. This process then helps to enhance what we have learned.
To put the protege effect into practice, a face-to-face conversation with a human partner is ideal, but it can be hard to find one. Fortunately, there are other ways. You might choose to present your progress as a blog or video aimed at other learners. Or you might, like me, choose to chat with an AI. I prompt (instruct) ChatGPT to act as a curious Spanish student, Mia, who listens to what I’ve been learning and asks suitable questions and follow-ups. With voice features, I can practice speaking as well. Though it felt awkward to talk to my computer at first, I became more confident in real-life interactions after just a few weeks.
46. Jean-Pol Martin’s teaching method is mentioned in the text to ______.
A. highlight the role of student competition in learning
B. contrast Eastern and Western educational philosophies
C. provide historical context for the concept’s development
D. demonstrate the inefficiency of teacher-centered instruction
47. The author mentions Catherine Chase’s study to show that ______.
A. flowcharts are useful tools to learn science
B. self-study is more effective than group learning
C. virtual characters cannot replace human teachers
D. learning by teaching is supported by scientific evidence
48. What does Paragraph 4 imply about the protege effect?
A. It encourages learners to avoid uncertain topics entirely.
B. It motivates deeper learning by creating a sense of duty.
C. It promotes systematic review of previously mastered material.
D. It relies on external feedback to correct errors in comprehension.
49. With regard to applying the “protege effect,” the author would most agree that ______.
A. teaching real people is best but not always possible
B chatting with AI is as effective as real-life interactions
C. overcoming the initial discomfort of teaching is the key
D. presenting learning progress publicly offers greater benefits
50. The author’s personal experience with Mia is introduced primarily to ______.
A. criticize the limitations of traditional language learning methods
B. illustrate the practical application of a psychological phenomenon
C. emphasize the superiority of AI over human interaction in education
D. showcase the technical complexities of creating virtual study partners
51. The author’s attitude to using AI for the protege effect can be described as ______.
A. overly enthusiastic without practical support
B. entirely unconcerned about non-human interactions
C. cautiously optimistic despite initial discomfort
D. strongly skeptical due to technological limitations

It was a dark and stormy night. The ferocious wind shook the windows wildly, as though someone outside were beating on the glass. It was also New Year’s Eve. We were having our annual party and had a house full of people just starting to celebrate.
Suddenly, we heard loud explosions. Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks(火花) flying from electrical transformers(变压器). One area after another went dark up in those hills. Then there was the loudest explosion of them all and our house went dark too. I tried to find every candle we had and lit them. The candles made everything look lovely. But we had problems. We had fifteen people standing around and we still had to cook dinner. How would we do that without electricity?
The barbecue! Why not cook on the barbecue? We men went outside, some holding flashlights and others cooking. We did a wonderful job. The women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious. There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes before midnight. We couldn’t watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but that wouldn’t stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone’s watch to tell us the time, we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need electricity for that!
Nowadays, we still get together with the same group to celebrate the New Year and we still talk about that special night. I don’t think we have ever laughed so much as we did on that New Year’s Eve.
