Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for more than 30 years near Buffalo, New York, he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, his wife suffered from an operation on her heart, which leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure depicting Imagination Library, a campaign launched by Dolly Parton’s foundation that mailed a book monthly to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home county. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. Consequently, he stuck the brochure on his wall as a motivational thing.
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still kept on the wall, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could devote themselves to the cause.
The quality of the books was a priority to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they packed their bags for Dollywood, the organization by Dolly Parton for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children trash,” says Linda. The books, reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members, included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer titles like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and work on. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to titles I’ve never heard of.”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit on their bottom and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
4. What inspired Tim’s action to do something for children?
A Tim’s teaching. B. Linda’s operation.
C. Megan’s encouragement. D. Patron’s foundation.
5. Why did the Richters select the books carefully?
A. To become Imagination Library’s partner. B. To meet the children’s requirement.
C To guarantee the quality of books. D. To win the praise of board members.
6. What is the attitude of Megan towards the program?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Contradictory.
7. Which of the following best describes Tim?
A. Changeable and creative. B. Generous and reliable.
C. Imaginative and respectable. D. Traditional and helpful.
C
Every so often, 31-year-old Chen Jiawen, a product designer at a technology company Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, sets aside a day for herself called Unplug Day. On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading.
Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology, citing moments of distraction (分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feelings of information overload. “Occasionally disconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this, she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books. “When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus.
It’s become a common situation where modem people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy, not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us.
8. What can we learn about Unplug Day?
A. It is a day for reading. B. It is a day without phones.
C. It is a day away from the Internet. D. It is a day to spend with friends.
9. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Range. B. Cancel.
C. Obtain. D. Prevent.
10. What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social media?
A. Tasks’ delays. B. Stress from peers.
C. Mental problems. D. A decreasing focus.
11. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Enjoy the benefits of technology.
B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices.
C. Remove the apps informing new messages.
D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights.
D
When preparing for a test, most students assume it’s best to simply study the material and try to memorize as much of it as possible. Many tests seemingly reward rote (死记硬背) memorization. But what if students trained by testing themselves instead? Usually, studying is considered a safer bet; why risk producing wrong answers when you can just memorize the right one? Yet it turns out making errors early on can be more helpful for remembering information over time.
Cognitive psychologists Henry Roddy Roediger and Jeff Karpicke conducted a study where they had hundreds of students memorize passages from a test-preparation book for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). One group memorized these passages by reading them repeatedly, while another group read the passages several times and then completed three tests. The results were surprising: the students who repeatedly studied the material initially performed better, but when they were tested again a week later, the students who tested themselves recalled over 60% of what they had learned, compared to only 40% for the group who repeatedly studied.
The testing effect has since been confirmed in many studies under a range of conditions. Its value remains undoubted, but scientists are still debating why it has such a powerful effect on memory. The simplest explanation is that testing exposes our weaknesses. When we test our memories, we expose the weaknesses of existing neuronal (神经元的) connections in a way that ultimately strengthens what’s useful and removes what’s not, making the information we attempt to memorize more lasting and easier to recall.
To maximize the benefits of the testing effect, it’s important to return to the same information in shorter sessions over several days instead of cramming (塞进) everything into a single night of intense studying. This allows your brain to consolidate the information and create stronger memories.
In conclusion, testing is not just a tool for assessing your knowledge but also a powerful learning tool. By embracing errors and actively testing yourself, you can improve your learning and memory. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, embrace them as opportunities for growth and mastery.
12. What do we know about Henry and Jeff’s study?
A. Self-testing works only in tasks of memorizing things.
B. Those who repeatedly studied performed better later.
C. Rote memorization doesn’t work well in the long run.
D. The study focused mainly on how to prepare for TOFEL.
13. What happens to the brain when people test their memories?
A Additional neuronal connections in the brain are created.
B. The brain processes new information at a higher speed.
C. The weak connections between neurons are removed.
D. Weak but useful neuronal connections become stronger.
14. What is an effective way to study according to paragraph 4?
A. Avoiding making the same mistakes in tests.
B. Studying everything intensely on a single night.
C. Reviewing in shorter sessions over several days.
D. Focusing on what is most likely to be on the test.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Cramming for Exams: A Safer Bet for Success
B. The Testing Effect: Why Practice Makes Perfect
C. The Power of Testing: An Effective Approach to Learning
D. The Secret of Learning: How Brains Process Information

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for more than 30 years near Buffalo, New York, he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, his wife suffered from an operation on her heart, which leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure depicting Imagination Library, a campaign launched by Dolly Parton’s foundation that mailed a book monthly to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home county. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. Consequently, he stuck the brochure on his wall as a motivational thing.
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still kept on the wall, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could devote themselves to the cause.
The quality of the books was a priority to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they packed their bags for Dollywood, the organization by Dolly Parton for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children trash,” says Linda. The books, reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members, included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer titles like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and work on. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to titles I’ve never heard of.”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit on their bottom and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
4. What inspired Tim’s action to do something for children?
A. Tim’s teaching. B. Linda’s operation.
C. Megan’s encouragement. D. Patron’s foundation.
5. Why did the Richters select the books carefully?
A. To become Imagination Library’s partner. B. To meet the children’s requirement.
C. To guarantee the quality of books. D. To win the praise of board members.
6. What is the attitude of Megan towards the program?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Contradictory.
7. Which of the following best describes Tim?
A. Changeable and creative. B. Generous and reliable.
C. Imaginative and respectable. D. Traditional and helpful.

Every so often, 31-year-old Chen Jiawen, a product designer at a technology company Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, sets aside a day for herself called Unplug Day. On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading.
Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology, citing moments of distraction (分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feelings of information overload. “Occasionally disconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this, she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books. “When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus.
It’s become a common situation where modem people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy, not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us.
8. What can we learn about Unplug Day?
A. It is a day for reading. B. It is a day without phones.
C. It is a day away from the Internet. D. It is a day to spend with friends.
9. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Range. B. Cancel.
C. Obtain. D. Prevent.
10. What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social media?
A. Tasks’ delays. B. Stress from peers.
C. Mental problems. D. A decreasing focus.
11. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Enjoy the benefits of technology.
B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices.
C. Remove the apps informing new messages.
D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Chen Jiawen为自己设置了一个 Unplug Day,在这一天远离网络和电子设备,文章呼吁当下年轻人不应当受控于电子设备。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading. (在这一天,她脱离了数字世界,专注于现实生活。早上,她一边听着音乐,一边为自己准备早餐。下午,她和朋友们在公园里散步,晚上,他们一起吃饭,不碰手机,进行深入的交谈。一回家,她就用晚上的时间读书。)”可知,Chen Jiawen在这一天会远离数码网络世界,回归真实生活。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. (Unplug Day是她combat过度使用手机造成的信息过载和重建注意力计划的一部分)”可知, Chen Jiawen过Unplug Day是想要阻止手机信息过量,重新找回专注力。由此可推知,画线词意思是“阻止”,与D项“Prevent”意思相近。故选 D。

When preparing for a test, most students assume it’s best to simply study the material and try to memorize as much of it as possible. Many tests seemingly reward rote (死记硬背) memorization. But what if students trained by testing themselves instead? Usually, studying is considered a safer bet; why risk producing wrong answers when you can just memorize the right one? Yet it turns out making errors early on can be more helpful for remembering information over time.
Cognitive psychologists Henry Roddy Roediger and Jeff Karpicke conducted a study where they had hundreds of students memorize passages from a test-preparation book for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). One group memorized these passages by reading them repeatedly, while another group read the passages several times and then completed three tests. The results were surprising: the students who repeatedly studied the material initially performed better, but when they were tested again a week later, the students who tested themselves recalled over 60% of what they had learned, compared to only 40% for the group who repeatedly studied.
The testing effect has since been confirmed in many studies under a range of conditions. Its value remains undoubted, but scientists are still debating why it has such a powerful effect on memory. The simplest explanation is that testing exposes our weaknesses. When we test our memories, we expose the weaknesses of existing neuronal (神经元的) connections in a way that ultimately strengthens what’s useful and removes what’s not, making the information we attempt to memorize more lasting and easier to recall.
To maximize the benefits of the testing effect, it’s important to return to the same information in shorter sessions over several days instead of cramming (塞进) everything into a single night of intense studying. This allows your brain to consolidate the information and create stronger memories.
In conclusion testing is not just a tool for assessing your knowledge but also a powerful learning tool. By embracing errors and actively testing yourself, you can improve your learning and memory. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, embrace them as opportunities for growth and mastery.
12. What do we know about Henry and Jeff’s study?
A. Self-testing works only in tasks of memorizing things.
B. Those who repeatedly studied performed better later.
C. Rote memorization doesn’t work well in the long run.
D. The study focused mainly on how to prepare for TOFEL.
13. What happens to the brain when people test their memories?
A. Additional neuronal connections in the brain are created.
B. The brain processes new information at a higher speed.
C. The weak connections between neurons are removed.
D. Weak but useful neuronal connections become stronger.
14. What is an effective way to study according to paragraph 4?
A. Avoiding making the same mistakes in tests.
B. Studying everything intensely on a single night.
C. Reviewing in shorter sessions over several days.
D. Focusing on what is most likely to be on the test.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Cramming for Exams: A Safer Bet for Success
B. The Testing Effect: Why Practice Makes Perfect
C. The Power of Testing: An Effective Approach to Learning
D. The Secret of Learning: How Brains Process Information
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了测试效应作为一种有效的学习方法,通过自我测试可以提高记忆和学习效果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The results were surprising: the students who repeatedly studied the material initially performed better, but when they were tested again a week later, the students who tested themselves recalled over 60% of what they had learned, compared to only 40% for the group who repeatedly studied.”(结果是令人惊讶的:那些反复学习材料的学生一开始表现更好,但当他们一周后再次接受测试时,那些自我测试的学生回忆起了60%以上所学的内容,而反复学习的学生只回忆起了40%。)可知,死记硬背从长远来看效果并不好。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“When we test our memories, we expose the weaknesses of existing neuronal (神经元的) connections in a way that ultimately strengthens what’s useful and removes what’s not, making the information we attempt to memorize more lasting and easier to recall. (当我们测试自己的记忆力时,我们会以一种方式暴露现有神经元连接的弱点,这种方式最终会强化有用的连接,去除无用的连接,从而使我们试图记住的信息更加持久,也更容易回想起来。)”可知,测试记忆时,大脑会暴露并强化有用的神经元连接,同时去除无用的连接,由此可知,弱但有用的神经元连接被暴露并得到加强。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“To maximize the benefits of the testing effect, it’s important to return to the same information in shorter sessions over several days instead of cramming (塞进) everything into a single night of intense studying. (为了最大限度地发挥测试效果的益处,重要的是在几天内分多个较短的时段来复习同样的知识内容,而不是把所有东西都集中在一个晚上进行高强度的学习。)”可知,有效的学习方法是分几天进行短时间复习,而不是一晚上突击学习,由此可推知,在几天内分多次短时段复习材料是有效的学习方法。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Yet it turns out making errors early on can be more helpful for remembering information over time. (然而,事实证明,早期犯错从长远来看可能更有助于记忆信息。)”以及第三段中的“The testing effect has since been confirmed in many studies under a range of conditions. (测试效应已经在多种条件下通过许多研究得到了证实。)”可知,本文的核心在于探讨测试作为一种有效的学习工具的力量,而且测试对学习和记忆的强大效果,所以“测试的力量:一种有效的学习方法。”概括了全文的主题,是最佳标题。故选C。

Others who enjoy going out and spend time with other people are called extroverts. ____17____ Are you an introverts or extroverts?
Second, how can knowledge of personality help us? Well, one of the ways is that by knowing how people behave and why they behave in a certain way, we can understand them better. ____18____ For example if we know that someone is an introvert, we will understand why he or she does not feel comfortable when he or she is with a big group of newly met people. ____19____
Another way knowledge of personality can help us is when we want to improve ourselves. If we know what personality type we belong to and the reasons why we behave the way we do, we can then try to change some of the bad things so that they can become good. ____20____
A. We may then help this person to make friends and talk to others.
B. Does personality make you different from others?
C. First of all, let us take a look at what personality means.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中秋节祭拜嫦娥和玉兔的传统习俗(文中特别提到了富察敦崇所著的《燕京岁时记》,这是一部记叙清代北京岁时风俗的杂记)。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:自古以来,以月宫玉兔为特色的纸装饰一直是这个中国传统节日的重要组成部分。根据空前时间状语Since ancient times可知,此处用现在完成时;主语paper decorations,为复数。故填 have been。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:对中国人来说,每年的中秋节在文化上的重要性仅次于春节。in terms of sth表示“在……方面”,为固定搭配。故填of。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:每年农历八月十五日是中秋节,人们庆祝月亮和兔子。根据空前不定冠词a和空后限定成分可知,此处用所给动词的名词形式,celebrate的名词形式是celebration。故填celebration。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:今天,朋友和亲戚一般通过交换月饼和水果作为礼物来庆祝这个节日。根据句意和空后的动词mark可知,此处填所给形容词的副词形式。故填generally。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:然而,在过去,家庭会在院子里摆一张桌子,点燃熏香和蜡烛,在满月下品尝新鲜的时令水果,如葡萄、梨、苹果和其他食物。根据空前句子主语families、介词in及空后名词courtyard可知,此处填形容词性物主代词。故填their。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,在过去,家庭会在院子里摆一张桌子,点燃熏香和蜡烛,在满月下品尝新鲜的时令水果,如葡萄、梨、苹果和其他食物。根据空前形容词 fresh、空后名词 fruits及列举的水果可知,此处填所给名词的形容词形式,seasonal fruits表示“当季水果”。故填seasonal。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们还会悬挂“月亮纸马”,这是一种纸,上面装饰着神、月亮和月亮女神嫦娥的伴侣玉兔的形象。根据清代富查邓崇写的《北京年俗》,这些红、绿、黄三色的纸画会在市场上买到,然后作为祭品焚烧给神。分析句子结构可知,该空引导一个限制性定语从句,且从句中缺少主语;先行词为Annual Customs and Festivals in Peking(《燕京岁时记》),指物,故此处填关系代词which或that。故填which或that。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们还会悬挂“月亮纸马”,这是一种纸,上面装饰着神、月亮和月亮女神嫦娥的伴侣玉兔的形象。根据清代富查邓崇写的《北京年俗》,这些红、绿、黄三色的纸画会在市场上买到,然后作为祭品焚烧给神。根据空前指示代词these可知,此处填所给名词的复数形式。故填pictures。

考查连词。句意:他们还会悬挂“月亮纸马”,这是一种纸,上面装饰着神、月亮和月亮女神嫦娥的伴侣玉兔的形象。根据清代富查邓崇写的《北京年俗》,这些红、绿、黄三色的纸画会在市场上买到,然后作为祭品焚烧给神。分析该空前后动词之间的关系可知,为并列关系,此处应填并列连词and。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:玉兔成为崇拜和月亮的象征,是在中国古代人们注意到月球表面的阴影形成了一个类似兔子的印象之后。分析句子成分可知,此处填非谓语动词;动词form与其逻辑主语a rabbit-like impression之间为动宾关系,故此处填所给动词的过去分词作后置定语。故填formed。

Dear Tony,

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】
Dear Tony,
I really understand your trouble. The dictionary pen, which you’ve been using a lot, seems to have made you too dependent on it. That you can understand the articles but can’t remember the Chinese characters and their pronunciations well, is a problem many language learners face.
Here are my suggestions. Firstly, try to use the dictionary pen less often. Instead, guess the meanings of new words from the context. Secondly, make word cards by yourself. The words that you write down and review regularly will stick in your mind better.
Don’t lose heart! Learning a language takes time and effort. I believe with persistence, you’ll make great progress.
Yours,
Li Hua
