The Language Exchange Programme allows students in pairs to communicate in two different languages they wish to share and learn each week.Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed.Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective.Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each.
Requirements for completion:
●One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term
●18 weekly one-hour pair meetings
●Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings
●At least three pair-teacher meetings
●One five-minute final video
Sign up!
The sign-up and registration process is as follows:
●Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning.
●Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified.
●Proficiency(熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests.
●Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme.
Reminders:
Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate.Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels.Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme.

When Narayanswami was invited to a dinner by a friend who worked at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she was excited.Many of the guests flew planes.“I must have expressed some yearning (渴望),” she says, because someone told her, “You should join the flying club!” The next day Narayanswami, who was 57 at the time, arranged to meet an instructor.“I said, ‘Aren't I too old?’ He said, ‘We've got students in their 80s.’”
Narayanswami grew up in west London, and at grammar school suffered horrific racist bullying.The library provided shelter.But, as she reached her late teens, she felt family pressure for an arranged marriage.“I really protested,” she says.“But I want to be an astronaut! My mother made a promise.‘As long as you are getting an education, we will not look for a husband for you.’”
Narayanswami studied biology at the University of Leicester, then did a PhD at the University of St Andrews, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of California.“Every time you move you get further away,” her dad remarked on the phone.“I didn't feel I would be able to escape unless I did that,”she says.
In 2020, aged 64, Narayanswami finished 423 flight hours she needed to earn her pilot's licence.Then she applied to NASA's astronaut corps, but received a very appreciative rejection.Even at 66, she says, “I haven't been able to figure out how to deal with the rejection.It doesn't go away.” The racist bullying she received as a child has cast a very long shadow.
Flying has helped.It is a workout: She has to tow the plane out to the taxiway.And being airborne offers a different perspective.“I can see eagles, bears, mountain lions, birds of prey.I love the beauty of the clouds.They are like hills, vaster than our hills,” she says.
New possibilities have arisen— Narayanswami chairs the board of the General Aviation Awards in the US— but she finds relaxation difficult.But when she is in the plane she focuses totally on flying.In flight , she is part of a huge network of people who are communicating by radio frequency.“We are all tied together by our voices.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了纳拉扬斯瓦米从57岁开始学习飞行的故事。
24.How did the instructor's words sound to Narayanswami?
A.Disappointing. B.Embarrassing.
C.Annoying. D.Encouraging.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The next day Narayanswami, who was 57 at the time, arranged to meet an instructor.‘I said, ‘Aren't I too old?’ He said, ‘We've got students in their 80s.’”可知,纳拉扬斯瓦米本来有些担心自己年龄太大,但听到教练的话后,内心应该会受到鼓舞,故选D项。
25.What does the underlined word“that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Accepting an arranged marriage.
B.Receiving an education.
C.Keeping a distance.
D.Making a promise.
答案:B
解析:代词指代题。根据第二段中的“As long as you are getting an education, we will not look for a husband for you.”及第三段中纳拉扬斯瓦米先后在多所大学接受教育可知,此处 that 指代的是接受教育,上文中提到接受教育能帮助她摆脱包办婚姻,故选B项。
26.What does Narayanswami think of NASA's rejection?
A.It indicates prejudice against her.
B.It ruins her childhood memory.
C.It raises concern for her age.
D.It leaves room for negotiation.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知,纳拉扬斯瓦米在学校时遭受过种族主义欺凌,再根据第四段中的“Even at 66,she says, ‘I haven't been able to figure out how to deal with the rejection.It doesn't go away.’ The racist bullying she received as a child has cast a very long shadow.”可知,她不知道该如何面对被拒绝,因为她小时候受到的种族主义欺凌给她留下了很长时间的阴影,所以纳拉扬斯瓦米认为美国国家航空航天局的拒绝是出于对她的偏见,故选A项。
27.What does flying bring to Narayanswami?
A.A good way of relaxation.
B.A different dimension of life.
C.A rich knowledge of wildlife.
D.A full exhibition of leadership.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“And being airborne offers a different perspective.‘I can see eagles, bears, mountain lions, birds of prey.I love the beauty of the clouds.They are like hills, vaster than our hills,’ she says.”可知,飞行给她带来了生活的另一种维度,故选B项。
C
“What one fool can understand, another can.”—Richard Feynman
The Feynman Technique, developed by Richard Feynman, is a study method for students to learn through the act of teaching.To use the technique, students choose a topic and then explain it in their own words as if teaching a sixth-grader.Then, they improve their explanations and go through the process again until they have mastered the topic.
Naturally, the average school student in sixth grade is not going to understand complicated terminology(术语), so the person using the Feynman Technique has to stress simplicity.Effective usage of the method requires the learner to define all unobvious terms, and this means that the Feynman Technique requires considerably more mental energy than other methods, such as rote learning(死记硬背).The act of teaching is a demanding task, but that is also why the technique is so effective.
This study method can be used to memorize, understand difficult topics, and supplement(增补)other common study methods like rereading textbooks or reviewing notes.It's worth mentioning, though, that rereading textbooks and notes is considered an ineffective study strategy by most modern learning scientists.
Why has the Feynman Technique remained one of the most effective study strategies for decades? For one, it provides an opportunity for continual review and analysis, which can help to ensure understanding at a higher level than just memorizing information.Furthermore, it provides a way for students to engage with information in a meaningful and memorable way by connecting it to personally relevant experiences and simple concepts.Plus, it is often more effective than traditional study methods because of its stress on active engagement.Unlike rereading textbooks or reviewing notes, which are passive activities, engaging with new material through explaining and continuously simplifying forces the learner to be more actively engaged.Finally, simplifying an explanation can improve the understanding and memorization of the subject.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“费曼学习法”。
28.Why is the quotation put at the beginning of this article?
A.To introduce the background.
B.To raise the readers' interest.
C.To lead in the Feynman Technique.
D.To popularize the Feynman Technique.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The Feynman Technique, developed by Richard Feynman, is a study method for students to learn through the act of teaching.”可推断,引言放在开头位置是为了引入费曼学习法这一话题。故选C。
29.How to use the Feynman Technique to learn something properly?
A.Choose the topic→read text books→review→teach.
B.Choose the topic→teach→review and simplify→teach again.
C.Choose the topic→memorize→teach→review and simplify.
D.Choose the topic→understand→teach→review and simplify.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句和第三段第一句可知,要使用费曼学习法,需要先选择话题,然后用简单的话,像教六年级的孩子那样解释该话题,再去复习改善,然后再教。故选B。
30.What should the person using the Feynman Technique pay special attention to?
A.Simplicity. B.Flexibility.
C.Practice. D.Repetition.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Naturally, the average school student in sixth grade is not going to understand complicated terminology(术语), so the person using the Feynman Technique has to stress simplicity.”可知,使用费曼学习法的人应该注意简化术语。故选A。
31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The theory supporting the Feynman Technique.
B.The process of applying the Feynman Technique.
C.The history of the popularity of the Feynman Technique.
D.The reasons why the Feynman Technique is so effective.
答案:D
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“Why has the Feynman Technique remained one of the most effective study strategies for decades? For one...Furthermore...Plus...Finally...”可知本段主要是在讲费曼学习法如此有效的原因。故选D。
D
A growing number of experts believe language can influence how we think just as our thoughts and culture can shape how language develops.One instance is that language appears to have a fascinating effect on the way we think about time.
Scientists who believe in this have shown that English speakers typically view time as travelling from left to right, most likely in line with the way the English language is written.However, Hebrew speakers, who read and write from right to left,picture time as following the same path as their text.
Languages also encode(编码)time in grammar.In English for example, the future is one of three simple tenses, along with the past and the present——we say “it rained”, “it rains” and “it will rain”.But in German, you can say “morgen regnet es”, meaning “it rains tomorrow”.The same is true for many other languages including Chinese.
But does this affect how we think? Keith Chen set out to test whether people who speak “futureless” languages might feel closer to the future than those speaking other languages.He discovered that speakers of futureless languages were more likely to engage in future focused activities.They were 31% more likely to have put money into savings and collected 39% more wealth by retirement.They were also 24% less likely to smoke,29% more likely to be physically active, and 13% less likely to be medically obese(肥胖的).This result held even when controlling for factors such as socioeconomic status and religion.In fact, countries with futureless languages on average witness 5% more of their GDP per year.
It is becoming increasingly clear that language is influencing how we think about the world and our passage through it.This is not to say that any one language is “better” than another, but being aware of how languages differ helps you think and communicate better.And while learning a new language won't necessarily make you a genius,we can all gain a fresh viewpoint and more flexible understanding of the world through it.

(2024·湖南长沙长郡中学高一期末)
For many websites, there is tons of information that's inaccurate, or just crazy. 36 With that in mind, here are four ways to find reliable websites.
Look for established institutions. 37 However, what you want are sites associated with trusted institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability.Such sites may include those run by government agencies, non-profit organisations or universities.
Look for sites with expertise(专门知识).You wouldn't go to the hospital to have your car repaired.This is an obvious point. 38 For example, if you're writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical authority websites.
Avoid commercial sites.Sites run by companies and businesses— their websites usually end in “.com”— are often trying to sell you something.And if they're trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they're presenting will be tilted (倾向于) in favour of their product. 39 But be cautious(谨慎).
40 Respected websites often link to each other.You can find out which other websites link to the site you're researching by conducting a link-specific website search.If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that's a good sign.Then it seems that you don't need to worry too much.
A.Check the links.
B.Consider the site's look.
C.Look for websites that specialise in what you're seeking.
D.If a website seems old, it's probably best to keep distance from it.
E.The internet is full of websites that were started five minutes ago.
F.That's not to say commercial sites should be excluded (不包括) entirely.
G.For inexperienced researchers, these sites can cause a wide range of problems.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种找到可靠的网站的方法。
36.答案:G
解析:根据空前内容可知,文章先提出了当前网站乱象,即充满大量不准确甚至疯狂的信息;空后则表明有四种找到可靠的网站的方法。G项“对于没有经验的研究人员来说,这些网站可能会导致各种各样的问题。”承接上文,指出这些乱象不利于没经验的研究者。故选G项。
37.答案:E
解析:根据本段的主旨句可知,本段主要介绍要寻找那些成熟的机构(所设的网站);结合空后的 However可知,设空处应是与下文相反的情况,前后形成转折。E项“互联网上到处都是五分钟前才启动的网站。”引出网站的话题,同时与空后提到的寻找已经运营了一段时间的可信赖的机构所设的网站形成转折。故选E项。
38.答案:C
解析:根据本段主旨句可知,本段主要介绍应该寻找有专业知识的网站。设空处后是作者举的例子,如果你正在写一篇关于流感暴发的报道,请查看权威医疗网站,设空处应给出具体的方法,C项“寻找专门针对你所寻找的内容的网站。”符合语境,且与段落主旨相符。故选C项。
39.答案:F
解析:空前讲到商业网站往往会引导你购买它们的产品,因此这类网站中呈现出的信息都是倾向于它们的产品的角度;设空处后的 But 提示前后文之间形成转折关系,F项“这并不是说商业网站应该被完全排除在外。”符合语境,指出这类网站并不是要被全盘否定,而是在使用时应该多加谨慎。故选F项。
40.答案:A
解析:根据文章结构可知,设空处为本段的主旨句。根据空后内容可知,本段介绍的方法为检查网站的相关链接。如果链接指向的其他网站较多且可信度高,那么该网站大概率也是可靠的。A项“检查链接。”符合段落主旨,故选A项。

(2024·湖南名校联考联合体高一期末)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was eight years old, my family moved from Japan to Canada.In Japan, I was a lively girl who enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes and loved making people laugh at my jokes and creating imaginative games to play with my friends.However, when we settled in Canada, I struggled to adapt.I was born shy and wasn't good at making new friends.During my first days at school I looked at others who were talking in groups happily.How I wish I had been one of them!
We settled in a comfortable house with a nice garden where we grew vegetables— my responsibility.While I enjoyed looking after them, I often daydreamed about having a great garden like my classmate Alice's, with its roses.Despite living in the same neighbourhood, Alice and I hardly talked.
It was a hurricane that brought Alice and me closer.
The hurricane struck on an afternoon.The gentle wind turned into a heavy storm, and the sky became dark with thick grey clouds.Gradually, the hurricane took shape.My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm.Frightened, I sat close to my mum, knees in my chest.After the storm passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside, I witnessed (目睹) the extent of the damage the hurricane had caused to our neighbourhood.Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, damaging Alice's garden in front of her yellow house.We hurried over to check on it.Fortunately, none of her family was injured.However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the roses and debris (碎片) spread everywhere.The roses that Alice used to be proud of were gone.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I was imagining how heartbroken Alice must feel seeing this when she appeared in the garden.
Looking at the restored garden, we could imagine attractive roses next spring.
【参考范文】
I was imagining how heartbroken Alice must feel seeing this when she appeared in the garden.Alice stood there, her eyes filled with tears as she surveyed the garden.Without hesitation, I rushed to her side, offering a comforting hug.“I'm so sorry, Alice,” I murmured, unsure of what else to say.She looked at me, with an expression of sadness and gratitude.Together, we began clearing the debris, restoring what we could from the destruction.After a while, our parents also joined us.We formed a team, uniting our efforts to rebuild what the hurricane had destroyed.As we worked side by side, laughter and conversation filled the air, easing the weight of the tragedy that had fallen on us.
Looking at the restored garden, we could imagine attractive roses next spring. Alice expressed her gratitude, her eyes shining with tears of appreciation as she hugged me tightly.In that moment, I felt a surge of warmth sweeping over me, knowing that our friendship had deepened through shared adversity.The restored garden was not just a witness to our hard work, but also a reminder of the bond that had blossomed between us.As we stood side by side, surveying our handiwork, I realised that sometimes, it takes a storm to reveal the true beauty of friendship.
